Section 8 Investigations Unit (SIU) / Fraud

Mission Statement

The Section 8 Investigations Unit (SIU) is an investigative entity charged with promoting integrity, efficiency and effectiveness of the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles’ programs and operations. This includes preventing, detecting and prosecuting waste, fraud and abuse.  With the assistance of anonymous tips and fraud referrals, the SIU aims to effectively fulfill its mission.

If you would like to report someone you feel is committing housing fraud, please visit www.mysafeworkplace.com.  Our hotline service allows you to submit fraud alerts online.  The service also allows you to create your own username and password to follow-up on your incident report and add to your report at a later date.   Your confidential report will instantly and discreetly be forwarded for review and handling.  After submission, you will be able to anonymously receive and send messages pertaining to your report.  All contacts are confidential and users are assured anonymity when they request it.*
