SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 21, 2007, the Assistant 
Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) transferred the 
responsibility for investigating complaints filed pursuant to Section 3 
of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (Section 3) from FHEO 
in Washington, DC, to each of the ten FHEO region offices. (See the 
delegation of authority published in the Federal Register on December 
17, 2007 at 72 FR 71429.) All Section 3 monitoring and enforcement 
responsibilities will remain in FHEO at HUD headquarters in Washington, 
DC.
    General Information: All submissions of HUD Form 958, Complaint 
Register Under Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 
1968, shall be sent directly to the appropriate FHEO region office for 
complaint processing and investigation in accordance with the Section 3 
regulations found at 24 CFR part 135. (Please note that a complainant 
need not submit a Form 958 in order to file a Section 3 complaint. So 
long as the complainant provides HUD with the information required 
under 24 CFR 135.76 and signs the submission, a form is not necessary.)
