Plain English

HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-49 establishes that compliance reviews related to fair housing and civil rights obligations are carried out by staff within HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO). Reviews covering Title VI of the Civil Rights Act follow procedures set out in HUD FHEO Handbook 8040.1, while reviews related to the Fair Housing Act follow HUD FHEO Handbook 8024.1. These two handbooks govern how FHEO conducts its oversight and enforcement activities in these areas.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers subject to HUD oversight should be aware that, under HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-49, FHEO staff may conduct compliance reviews using procedures drawn from two separate handbooks depending on whether the review concerns Title VI or Fair Housing Act obligations. Operators who maintain thorough records of their nondiscrimination policies, tenant selection practices, and complaint histories are generally better positioned to respond to such reviews. Familiarity with both HUD FHEO Handbook 8040.1 and HUD FHEO Handbook 8024.1 can help property managers understand what FHEO reviewers are looking for during an examination.

For Tenants

Under HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 CHG-4 § 2-49, tenants and applicants who believe they have experienced discrimination have the benefit of a structured federal review process administered by FHEO. Complaints related to the Fair Housing Act are handled through procedures outlined in HUD FHEO Handbook 8024.1, which covers intake, investigation, and conciliation, while Title VI concerns follow HUD FHEO Handbook 8040.1. Individuals who believe their rights may have been violated can explore filing a complaint with HUD directly or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
