The Oregon Housing and Community Services Department is conducting a study concerning fair housing compliance and impediments to fair housing choice throughout the state. This study will analyze mortgage application data, fair housing complaints, and the fair housing service delivery system, as well as media reports regarding fair housing. The study also depends on the opinions and experiences of people who are knowledgeable about housing and fair housing compliance issues – people like you.

Known as the “Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice,” the study is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in return for receiving housing and community development funds.

The goal of the research is to identify whether barriers and adverse policies exist in a variety of areas, including housing rentals and sales, banking, insurance, and real estate industries. The study also examines public and administrative policies that may inadvertently lead to discrimination against protected classes. Please note that your answers are anonymous and will only be reported in a compilation with other people's responses. Again, thank you for your time.
