SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

HUD is requesting this renewal for an information collection that expired on September 30, 2025, to the OMB for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended].

The “Housing Discrimination Complaint” previously known as the “Report Housing Discrimination” Form (HUD-903) is used for the collection of pertinent information from persons or entities who wish to file housing discrimination complaints with HUD/FHEO under § 810(a) of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (Act), as amended [42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq. and 24 CFR part 103, subparts A and B ] and/or under other Federal civil rights laws administratively enforced by FHEO. Effective as of October 1, 2022, FHEO is also authorized to file and investigate complaints alleging violations of the 2022 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) [34 U.S.C. 12491-12495 ]. Accordingly, FHEO requested and received OMB's emergency approval to revise the previously approved “Report Housing Discrimination” Form by adding information necessary to inform the public, including potential VAWA complainants/survivors, about FHEO's new VAWA enforcement authority. On January 20, 2023, FHEO also published Notice FHEO-2023-01: “ Notice to Public Regarding FHEO Enforcement Authority and Procedures: Violence Against Women Act 2022 (VAWA).” Notice FHEO-2023-01 describes FHEO's procedures for conducting intake, filing, investigating, and resolving VAWA complaints. FHEO has also established a “Your Rights Under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)” web page that provides detailed guidance (including Notice FHEO-2023-01) for potential VAWA complainants/survivors, at: https://www.hud.gov/​hud-partners/​fair-housing-vawa.

HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) staff uses the currently-approved Form HUD-903 information collection at the intake stage of case processing to verify that a person or entity has standing as an aggrieved person to file a complaint under the Fair Housing Act (“Act”); that the respondent is covered by the requirements of the Act; that the subject dwelling and/or transaction is covered by the requirements of the Act; that the alleged discriminatory activity is prohibited under the Act (subject matter jurisdiction); and that the alleged discriminatory activity occurred within the Act's one-year statute of limitations for filing a complaint with HUD. The currently approved Form complies with the procedures described in HUD's Fair Housing Act regulation at 24 CFR part 103, subpart B, Subsections 103.10, 103.15, 103.20, 103.25, 103.30, 103.35, and 103.40.

The Form HUD-903 will not increase the information collection burden for aggrieved persons. The Form asks an aggrieved person to provide their full ( printed page 17980) name; address; phone and/or email contact information; and alternative contact information. The Form also asks the aggrieved person to answer eight (8) preliminary questions that may establish HUD's authority (jurisdiction) to investigate a housing discrimination complaint. The form now includes a signature field to declare under penalty of perjury that the form submitter read the complaint and that it is true and correct to the best of their knowledge.

The updated Form HUD-903 will not increase the total annual burden hours for aggrieved persons who submit the Form to HUD via the internet. Therefore, HUD does not believe that the time for completing the online version of the Form will exceed the current 45-minute time limit for internet submissions.

This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected agencies concerning the proposed extension of approval for a currently approved collection of information concerning alleged discriminatory housing practices under the Fair Housing Act [42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq. ]. The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, occupancy, advertising, and insuring of residential dwellings; and in residential real estate-related transactions; and in the provision of brokerage services, based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap [disability], familial status, or national origin. The Fair Housing Act also makes it unlawful to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any person who has (1) exercised their fair housing rights; or (2) aided or encouraged another person to exercise their fair housing rights.

Any person who claims to have been injured by a discriminatory housing practice, or any person who believes that they will be injured by a discriminatory housing practice that is about to occur, may file a complaint with HUD not later than one (1) year after the alleged discriminatory housing practice(s) occurred or terminated. FHEO designed the “Housing Discrimination Complaint” Form HUD-903 to promote consistency in the documents that, by statute, must be provided to persons or entities against whom complaints are filed [“ respondents” ], and for the general public's information and convenience. Section 103.25 of HUD's Fair Housing Act regulation describes the information that must be included in each complaint filed with HUD. For purposes of meeting the Act's one-year time limitation for filing complaints with HUD, complaints need not be initially submitted on the Form that HUD provides. “Housing Discrimination Complaint” Form HUD-903 may be submitted to HUD in person, by mail, or via the internet. HUD must implement and enforce VAWA consistent with, and in a manner that provides, the rights and remedies provided for in the Fair Housing Act. 34 U.S.C. 12494(c); 12495(d). FHEO staff uses the information provided on the Form to verify HUD's authority to investigate the aggrieved person's allegations under the Fair Housing Act and/or under other Federal civil rights laws that FHEO administratively enforces.

A. Overview of Information Collection

Proposed Revised Title of Information Collection: Housing Discrimination Complaint.

OMB Control Number: 2529-0011.

Type of Request: Renewal of a previously approved information collection.

Form Number: HUD-903.

Description of the need for the information and proposed use:

FHEO uses the “Housing Discrimination Complaint”, formerly the “Report Housing Discrimination” Form HUD-903, to collect pertinent information from persons wishing to file housing discrimination complaints with HUD under the Fair Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act makes it unlawful to discriminate in the sale, rental, occupancy, advertising, or insuring of residential dwellings; or to discriminate in residential real estate-related transactions; or in the provision of brokerage services, based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap [disability], familial status, or national origin. The Fair Housing Act also makes it unlawful to coerce, intimidate, threaten, or interfere with any person who has (1) exercised their fair housing rights; or (2) aided or encouraged another person to exercise their fair housing rights.

The “Housing Discrimination Complaint” Form HUD-903 facilitates the collection of pertinent information from persons or entities who wish to file housing discrimination complaints with HUD under § 810(a) of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 (Act), as amended [42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq. and 24 CFR part 103, subparts A and B ]. Any person who claims to have been injured by a discriminatory housing practice, or any person who believes that they will be injured by a discriminatory housing practice that is about to occur, may file a complaint with HUD not later than one (1) year after the alleged discriminatory housing practice occurs or terminates. FHEO staff uses the information to verify that the person or entity has standing as an aggrieved person to file a complaint under the Act; that the respondent is covered by the requirements of the Act; that the subject dwelling and/or transaction is covered by the requirements of the Act; that the alleged discriminatory activity is prohibited under the Act (subject matter jurisdiction); and that the alleged discriminatory activity occurred within the Act's one-year statute of limitations for filing a complaint with HUD. This information is subsequently used to notify persons or entities that have been accused of engaging in discriminatory housing practices [“ respondents” ], as required under 42 U.S.C. 3610(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, and under 24 CFR§ 103.202(a) of HUD's Fair Housing Act regulation. FHEO also uses this Form to establish HUD's authority to conduct investigations under other Federal civil rights authorities, including, but not limited to, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2000d-2000d-7 ]; Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4151-4153); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 [29 U.S.C. 794 ]; Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 [42 U.S.C. 12101-12103; 12131-12134]; Section 109 of Title I of the Housing & Community Development Act of 1974 [42 U.S.C. 5309 ]; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 [42 U.S.C. 6101-6107 ]; Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 [20 U.S.C. 1681-83, 85-88 ]; and under the 2022 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) [34 U.S.C. 12491-12495 ].

To further public education about unlawful housing discrimination, the Form also contains a non-exhaustive list of activities that are prohibited under the Fair Housing Act and under VAWA. Electronic versions of the Form are currently available on FHEO's web page in English at: https://www.hud.gov/​helping-americans.

The Form may be submitted to HUD by mail, electronically via the internet, or presented in person to HUD's Regional and/or Field FHEO Offices. HUD/FHEO staff uses this information collection as a source of pertinent data for the HUD Enforcement Management System [“HEMS”], HUD's electronic Fair Housing Act complaint processing database. FHEO uses the HEMS database to conduct intake/assessment of housing discrimination claims; to perfect and generate jurisdictional complaints; to develop investigative plans; to store factual evidence obtained during complaint investigations; to document conciliation efforts under § 810(b) of the Act and voluntary compliance efforts under other Federal civil rights authorities; to generate Final Investigative Reports and ( printed page 17981) Determinations of Reasonable Cause and Determinations of No Reasonable Cause under §§ 810(b) and 810(g) of the Act; and to generate digital case files for administrative enforcement actions.

Agency form number: Form HUD-903.

Members of affected public: Individuals or households; businesses or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or Tribal Governments.

Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the information collection, including the number of respondents, frequency of response, and hours of responses: During FY 2025, HUD/FHEO staff received 50,413 submissions of potential complaint information via the internet. Due to recent changes to the intake process, HUD staff now receive approximately 98% of all forms via the internet. As such, FHEO estimates that HUD FHEO receives 51,442 forms each year. HUD estimates that an aggrieved person takes approximately 45 minutes to complete the HUD 903 Form. HUD/FHEO staff uses the information collected from the HUD-903 Form to generate a formal housing discrimination complaint in the HEMS database. This complaint is subsequently signed by the aggrieved person(s) under penalty of perjury and is served on the respondent(s) by personal service or by certified mail, as required under 24 CFR 103.202(a) of HUD's Regulation implementing the Act.

Each aggrieved person will complete the HUD 903 Form to report an incident of housing discrimination on a one-time basis. Therefore, HUD estimated the annual burden hours for this information collection at 38,581.5 hours.

51,441 Forms × (1 frequency per person) × (0.75 hours per form) = 38,581.5 hours

Annualized cost burden to complainants: HUD does not provide postage-paid mailers for this information collection. Accordingly, persons who choose to submit the HUD-903 Form to HUD by regular mail must pay the United States Postal Service's (USPS's) prevailing First-Class Postage rate. At the time of this Notice, the annualized cost burden per person, based on a one-time submission of this Form to HUD via the USPS's First-Class Postage rate is Seventy-Eight Cents ($0.78) per person. Aggrieved persons may also submit the Form to HUD in person or electronically via the internet.

There are no additional annualized cost burdens to aggrieved persons or record keepers resulting from this information collection.

Status of the proposed information collection: Proposed extension of a currently approved information collection of pertinent information from aggrieved persons wishing to file housing discrimination complaints with HUD.

B. Solicitation of Public Comments

This Notice is soliciting comments from members of the public and affected parties concerning the collection of information described in Section A on the following:

(1) Whether the proposed information collection is necessary for the performance of the agency's functions;

(2) Whether the agency's estimate of burdens imposed by the information collection is accurate;

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) Ways to minimize the burdens of the information collection on aggrieved persons, including the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

HUD encourages interested parties to submit comments in response to these questions.

C. Authority
