Announcement: Launching of the National Fraud Detection Center
WASHINGTON DC— The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of the Inspector General (HUD OIG) is proud to announce its partnership with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in the launch of the National Fraud Detection Center (NFDC). As a signatory of the NFDC Charter, HUD OIG has committed dedicated investigators and analysts to the prosecutor-led effort to strengthen interagency coordination to detect and dismantle complex fraud schemes.
“The National Fraud Detection Center represents the power of government working together with one purpose: to protect the American people from fraud. For millions of Americans, homeownership is the foundation of the American Dream, and we have zero tolerance for those who seek to steal that dream through fraud, deception, or abuse of federal housing programs. By combining the expertise, intelligence, and investigative strength of HUD OIG, DOJ, and our law enforcement partners, the NFDC will allow us to identify fraud faster, strike it harder, and better protect families, taxpayers, and the integrity of our nation’s housing programs,” stated Acting Inspector General Brian D. Harrison.
The NFDC serves as a centralized, collaborative space bringing together federal law enforcement, the Inspector General community, and state partners. By joining forces with the DOJ’s Fraud Division, fellow OIGs, and federal law enforcement agencies, HUD OIG reinforces its commitment to holding accountable those who seek to defraud federal programs and abuse public trust.
