This request is a collaboration with journalist Urvashi Uberoy.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) maintains two key databases related to fair housing complaints:
The Form 903 Admin tool, named after the agency’s main fair housing complaint form, which can be submitted online and through other means.
The HUD Enforcement Management System (
HEMS), “the system where case data on housing discrimination complaint inquiries and case files are documented during the investigation process.”
Our FOIA request 📄 seeks complaint- and case-level records (minus personally-identifying information) maintained in these databases since 2010.
