Complaints

Complaints alleging violation of fair housing laws will be reviewed using the County-established Page 43 of 55 process and directed to HUD for review when required. Complaints regarding fraud, waste, or abuse of government funds should be forwarded to the HUD office of Inspector General Fraud Hotline (phone: 1–800–347–3735 or email: hotline@hudoig.gov).

To maintain accountability for the use of public funds, the Orange County Comptroller has established the County Audit Division (County Audit) to review allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse of County property and resources. Orange County’s citizens or County employees may contact the County Audit Division’s Fraud Hotline in instances where fraud, waste, or abuse of County assets or resources are suspected. Individuals are not required to provide their name.
