How to file a complaint Housing discrimination complaints may be filed for up to one year from the incident. However, it is best to file your complaint as soon as possible. HUD accepts housing discrimination complaints at its 10 regional offices, where you can also request a copy of its complaint form. (Information on how to contact the office nearest you can be found at the end of this article.) HUD also will accept a letter outlining your complaint. Include your name, address, the name and address of the person you are complaining about, the address or description of the housing, a short statement of why you think your rights were violated and the date it happened. Send your complaint to the nearest HUD office. When you file a housing discrimination complaint with HUD, it may decide that your state, county or city has the same or stronger fair housing laws as the federal government. The state or local agency must begin to work on the complaint within 30 days or HUD will take it back. For Illinois Fair Housing Hub U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Ralph H.
