QUESTION 1

Why do you believe someone discriminated against you, someone you live with, or someone you sought to live with?

Choose at least one reason. You can choose more than one.

Because of race

Because of color

Because of religion

Because of national origin (including limited English proficiency)

Because of disability

Because of sex (this includes, but is not limited to, discrimination because of gender, actual or perceived gender identity or sexual orientation)

Because of familial status (this includes children under 18 years old, pregnancy or seeking legal custody)

Because of, or as a direct result of, you or someone in your household being a survivor of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking (such as for having a criminal record, eviction history, or bad credit history), or because you believe another housing right under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was violated (for example, your landlord did not provide an emergency transfer, you were penalized for calling 9-1-1 or seeking emergency services). VAWA protections apply regardless of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity

Because of retaliation, intimidation, or interference related to exercising a fair housing right or a VAWA right (such as filing a complaint; testifying in a proceeding), or helping others to do so
