Re: Docket No. FR-7107-N-15; OMB Control No.: 2529-0011; 30-Day Notice of Proposed
Information Collection: Housing Discrimination Complaint Form HUD 903
Dear HUD Desk Officer and Secretary Turner,
The National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) and the undersigned civil rights, housing, domestic violence prevention, and consumer advocacy organizations thank you for the opportunity to comment on the 30-day Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) notice1 (HUD 2026
30-Day Notice) related to changes to the Housing Discrimination Complaint Form HUD 903 (HUD Form) (HUD Form Changes) that is used by HUD’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO). NFHA leads a coalition that works to build inclusive, well-resourced, and resilient communities; expand equitable opportunities; and end housing discrimination.
The HUD Form Changes principally consist of a wholesale removal of access to the Fair Housing Act and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) complaint process for persons who are limited English proficient (LEP). LEP individuals are a substantial portion of the population needing access to these statutory rights from HUD. The HUD Form Changes therefore are inconsistent with HUD’s statutory duties under these laws and fail to comply with the PRA. Further, HUD’s failure to acknowledge the additional burden and other issues through leadership, education, outreach, membership services, public policy initiatives, community development, advocacy, and enforcement.it is placing on LEP individuals resulted in a procedurally and substantively deficient PRA clearance process. HUD has also failed to wait for additional guidance from the Attorney General and to complete its own rulemaking agenda related to the complaint process, which it should do before making changes to the form.
