What HUD field offices handle
- Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher — coordinate with your local Public Housing Authority (PHA)
- Public housing — eligibility, waiting lists, complaints about PHA conduct
- Fair Housing Act complaints — discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, disability
- FHA-insured mortgages — loss mitigation, foreclosure prevention, predatory-lending complaints
- Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance — owner/landlord questions
How to file a fair housing complaint
- Call 1-800-669-9777 (HUD discrimination hotline)
- File online at hud.gov — Report Housing Discrimination
- Or contact the field office above directly
Note: HUD investigates complaints REGARDLESS of immigration status. Section 8 / public housing eligibility depends on family composition — mixed-status families (some members are US citizens or eligible immigrants) can qualify with prorated assistance.

Key lines stay here: fair-housing complaints go to HUD’s FHEO at 1-800-669-9777 within one year of the act, and your immigration status does not affect HUD’s authority to investigate. HUD’s national budget figures, the Fair Housing Act complaint deadline and contacts, and the Section 8 waitlist and mixed-status proration rules are maintained once, on the HUD housing offices by state hub.
