Services Provided: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has almost 300 programs in service to its fundamental mission to provide strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality, affordable homes for all Americans.
However, with few exceptions, such as filing a Fair Housing complaint, the public would generally access these programs through an intermediary organization such as a Public Housing Agency, non-profit, or local government.
Following are the programs most sought after by the public:

Shelters and Transitional Housing

Landlord and Tenant Guidelines
Landlord-tenant laws are state laws, not federal, so unless you are in federally-assisted housing, HUD probably has no authority to act on your behalf (unless your complaint is regarding a violation of the Fair Housing Act, or failure to provide a lead-based paint brochure, as examples). However, the Idaho Office of the Attorney General has prepared a resource to assist you.
