NOTICE: HUD Fraud Reporting Letter
ACDS administers several programs on behalf of Anne Arundel County that are funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In an effort to provide the recipients of HUD-assisted programs with the best services and funding possible, The Office of Inspector General (OIG) requests that reports of crime, fraud, financial waste and abuse are reported immediately. Fraud negatively impacts communities and individuals who rely on HUD for housing solutions. Together, we have a shared responsibility to report fraudulent activity. For more information and resources, please visit the HUD website here.
