A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Focus
Groups about the Housing Search
Process for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender (LGBT) People.
OMB Approval Number: 2528-New.
Type of Request: New collection.
Form Number: None.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Department is conducting this study as
part of a larger effort to study housing
discrimination. As part of that research,
the Department would like to learn
more about the process that people use
to search for housing. Specifically, we
are interested in the manner in which
people identify themselves as lesbian,
gay, or transgender when searching for
rental housing. The full project is to
conduct in-person testing for lesbian
and gay people in at least two major
metropolitan rental markets and
transgender people in at least one
market. The study will use paired
testing methods to measure disparate
treatment.
Respondents (i.e. affected public):
Potential renters who are LGBT persons (four focus groups of 15 people each) .............................................................................
Potential renters who are heterosexual, for comparison purposes ....................................................................................................

rental housing search process employed
by racial and ethnic minorities and
other populations may have significant
consequences for the housing
opportunities available to minority
households and the strategies needed to
combat racial and ethnic discrimination.
This is an exploratory inquiry into a
topic that is not well understood and
has not been a well-developed research
topic. The findings of this study will
help guide research toward a more
comprehensive understanding of the
rental housing search processes of
individual households and will inform
development of more effective
enforcement strategies to combat
discriminatory practices and will
indicate ways to expand housing
opportunities for racial and ethnic
minorities.
Respondents; Recent movers and
current housing searchers in large scale
cognitive testing and a limited number
of in-depth interviews of some members
of the testing group.
