Housing Discrimination Today

Someone sent me this Milwaukee News Buzz article on housing discrimination as it exists today.  A major source of discrimination complaints today is on the basis of disability.  Disability is one of the protected classes under the Federal Fair Housing Act, and states and local communities often create additional protected classes based on perceived community needs.   A full list of protected classes in Wisconsin can be found courtesy of the Fair Housing Council.
