that's why hud launched a landmark initiative called house america. we have given unprecedented resources. we plan to put our country back on the plan -- path to ending homelessness. more than 40 state local, and tribal leaders have already signed off on house america and that includes many of the people gathered at this meeting. i thank every community who has joined our partnership, and hope you will join us. but there is so much more. hud remove barriers that kept too many americans from buying their first home, especially young people who are burdened with student debt. we took action to assure that more affordable homes wind up on the market in the hands of those who need them instead of the hands of flippers and real estate speculators. the fair housing act allows banks and lenders to use special-purpose credit programs expand homeownership, opportunities that we need for historically underserved communities including people of color. we planned an interagency task force to root out discrimination in our appraiser market, the first such effort i

a study by hud in 2013 measured the treatment of same-sex couples when they advertise for apartments online compared to how similar heterosexual couples are treated and the study which is the first time hud had ever studied same-sex housing discrimination found they received a lower response rate than heterosexual couples using identical emails keeping all details the same except for the sexual orientation of the couple. we've had several hearings regarding housing, health, employment, education for young people. this is an issue on which the chairwoman of the subcommittee and the chairman of the whole committee have been outspoken leaders. how has hud worked to remedy the discrimination unveiled by this 2013 study and has the agency continued to track any rental housing bias for same-sex couples? >> i appreciate that. to your first question, what has been done, i'll name two things. one is the provision of housing vouchers and otherwise subsidies for housing programs for homeless and low-income people. they have not been targeted with regard to lgbtq plus folks. that is a particular
