A Fair Housing complaint can be filed with HUD in all of these ways, except for ____________.

• A. Mail
• B. Email
• C. Fax
• D. In person

Answer: (C)

HUD accepts filing a fair housing complaint through several accessible channels to ensure the submission is complete and traceable. A complaint can be filed by mail, by email, or in person at a HUD office, and many people use the online complaint portal for quicker processing. The method that is not supported is faxing a complaint. Fax transmissions can be unreliable for official records—things like legibility, signatures, and timely receipt can be hard to verify—so HUD directs filers to use mail, email, in person, or the online system to ensure proper processing and a verifiable record. If you file by mail or in person, keep copies and obtain a receipt; if you file online, you’ll get a confirmation and case number.
