If you are aware of fraud, waste, and abuse in HUD programs and operations, report it to HUD's Hotline!

  • What kinds of things should you report? Mismanagement or violations of law, rules, or regulations by HUD employees or program participants.

  • Your complaint will be kept confidential if it is received on the phone, through the mail, or in person. We cannot guarantee confidentiality if you send your complaint by e-mail.

  • Laws protect you from reprisals (any action taken against you because you filed this complaint).

You can submit your complaint one of 4 ways:
  • Online, through e-mail. Remember: if you submit your complaint online (through e-mail), it is possible - though unlikely - that others could read it since the internet is not secure.
  • By Phone.
