In general, OI focuses its investigations on possible violations of federal, state, and local laws or regulations in the administration of HUD programs and activities or misconduct on the part of HUD employees or the recipients of HUD funds.
As part of the investigation, HUD will interview the complainant, the respondent, and pertinent witnesses. The investigator will collect relevant documents or conduct onsite visits, as appropriate. 2. HUD has the authority to take depositions, issue subpoenas and interrogatories, and compel testimony or documents.
It is important to note, that just because disability is the most common basis for filed fair housing complaints, it does not necessarily mean that it is the one that occurs most often.
