Oregon’s state housing agency (OHCS) — the direct contact

- 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 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.
