The Urban Institute estimated a small decrease in housing discrimination between 1977 and 2012.
What does this indicate in housing discrimination?
This decrease is reflective of efforts to address discriminatory practices in housing over the years including the implementation of anti-discrimination laws and increased awareness of fair housing issues.
During this period, various legislative and policy measures were put in place to combat housing discrimination such as the Fair Housing Act of 1968 which was further amended in 1988 to provide stronger protections against discrimination.
These legal changes aimed to reduce discriminatory practices in housing such as racial and ethnic discrimination, discriminatory lending practices and unequal access to housing opportunities.
Therefore, the Option B is correct.
