A top priority of HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity is

creating equal housing opportunities for every resident of this nation.

One of the primary ways HUD accomplishes this is by aggressively

enforcing the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based

on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability.

The Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity administers

fair housing laws and establishes national policies that ensure all

Americans have equal opportunities in housing for which they qualify.

Individuals who believe they have experienced discrimination can
report it to HUD by calling the Department's toll-free fair housing hotline
numbers: 1-800-877-7353 or TTY 1-800-927-9275. Individuals can
file a housing discrimination complaint by logging onto HUD's
Fair Housing website: www.hud.gov/fairhousing or www.espanol.hud.gov
or call FHEO staff at 303-672-5437.
