Domestic violence survivors are more likely to face roadblocks to housing than the general public in D.C. despite an anti-discrimination law passed by D.C. Council last year, according to a study by a nonprofit civil rights organization.

The study conducted by the Equal Rights Center found that 9 percent of applicants linked to domestic violence were denied housing outright and 56 percent were subject to adverse terms, not given appointments, or not told about additional listings.
