Request an Informal Hearing

To request an Informal Hearing on a Termination, you must submit a written request to the Hearing Officer within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Notice of Termination of Assistance Letter.  The written request may be submitted in one (1) of the four (4) following ways:

• In-Person: Submit your written request at our office and receive a receipt
• Facsimile (fax): Submit your written request by fax to (713) 260-0366
• Email: Submit your written request by email: informalhearing@housingforhouston.com
• Traditional Mail: Submit your written request by USPS, UPS, or FedEx

Verbal requests will not be accepted.  You are strongly encouraged to select a method that will provide you with proof of transmission/mailing. Please attach a copy of the Notice of Termination of Assistance Letter with your Informal Hearing Request.

If your request is timely and you qualify for a hearing, the termination will be suspended until completion of the hearing process.  Note that you are not responsible for and cannot be evicted for non-payment of Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) by the Houston Housing Authority prior to the effective date of the termination.

If you are a person with a disability and your program violation is related to your disability, you may request a reasonable accommodation from the Housing Authority's 504/ADA Administrator.
