housing department

Dwelling allocation office

A housing department is a government agency responsible for residential property matters—public housing, rental assistance, building codes, and tenant protections.

At the local level, housing departments manage affordable housing programs and handle landlord-tenant disputes.

Contact the housing department if your landlord won't fix the heat.
