HUD: report housing discrimination
United States
Review the official route for reporting alleged housing discrimination to HUD.
HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity accepts housing-discrimination allegations involving renting, buying, housing assistance and other covered housing activities. Filing limits and legal rights can be time-sensitive, so this directory record is an official complaint route, not legal advice.
Who qualifies
People who believe they have been or will be harmed by housing discrimination or other covered housing civil-rights violations. HUD determines jurisdiction and case handling.
How to access it
Use HUD's official reporting page or phone route as soon as possible when a deadline may apply. For legal advice or representation, use a qualified legal provider such as W4LEGAL resources.
What to have ready
Be prepared to identify the people or organization involved, the housing or program, a short description of what happened and relevant dates.
Cost or fee
No charge to report an allegation to HUD.
Accessibility
HUD publishes assistance routes for people who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech or communication disabilities.
