HUD Fax Number — File Housing Discrimination Complaints

The Department of Housing and Urban Development accepts faxed fair housing complaints, FHA mortgage insurance paperwork, Section 8 applications, and FOIA requests, with the headquarters fax line at 202-708-1686. Fair housing discrimination complaints often go to your regional HUD office rather than headquarters, and HUD is required to begin investigating a complaint within 100 days of receiving it. FHA mortgage documents usually move through your lender or the HUD Homeownership Center serving your state instead of the main fax line.

Tip: If you are reporting housing discrimination, spell out the property address, the landlord or property manager's name, the dates the discrimination happened, and the protected basis such as race or disability. Confirm whether your complaint should reach the regional HUD office or headquarters before you send, and call the housing discrimination hotline at 1-800-669-9777 if you are unsure. Keep your fax delivery confirmation so you can show when HUD received the complaint relative to the 100-day investigation clock.

Faxing to HUD — FAQ

The HUD headquarters fax line is 202-708-1686. Fair housing complaints frequently go to a regional office with a different number instead, so call 1-800-669-9777 to confirm which line applies to your situation.

Include the property address, the name of the landlord or property manager, the dates the discrimination occurred, and the protected basis behind it. The more specific the complaint, the faster HUD can open and route the investigation.

Federal rules require HUD to begin investigating a fair housing complaint within 100 days of receiving it. A dated delivery confirmation from your fax gives you a record of when that clock started.

FHA paperwork normally goes to your lender or to the HUD Homeownership Center that serves your state, not to the headquarters fax line. Ask your lender for the correct number before sending.
