Oregon’s state housing agency (OHCS) — the direct contact
HUD is federal, but for rent assistance, emergency housing, and general Oregon housing questions you usually want the state agency, Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS):
- Email: HCS_Housing.Info@hcs.oregon.gov
- Phone (toll-free): 800-453-5511
- Office: North Mall Office Building, 725 Summer Street NE, Suite B, Salem OR 97301-1266 — weekdays 8 a.m.–5 p.m., visits by appointment

Need help now? For emergency rent, utility, or shelter referrals anywhere in Oregon, dial 211 or text your ZIP code to 898211 (211info.org) — a free information and referral line. OHCS and 211 provide information regardless of immigration status; individual program eligibility varies.
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.
