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 accepts complaints from anyone who has been or will be harmed by a discriminatory housing practice. 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 after the discriminatory practice occurred or ended, and HUD says anyone harmed by a discriminatory housing practice may file. 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.
