Protection from discrimination and fraud

If you are a disaster survivor and feel that you have been discriminated against, you can file a complaint by calling HUD at 1-800-669-9777 or TTY: 1-800-877-8339 or visit how to file a complaint. Materials and assistance are available in both English and Spanish. You should file a complaint with HUD as soon as possible. HUD may not be able to help you if your complaint is filed more than one year after the last discriminatory act.

The Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) provides guidance on how to comply with the Fair Housing Act, how to avoid housing discrimination, and how to seek help.

Scams and fraud

After a disaster, scam artists, identity thieves and other criminals often attempt to take advantage of disaster survivors: watch for and report any suspicious activity.
