The Office of Civil Rights consists of two units: Fair Housing & Employment and
Contract Compliance. The Fair Housing & Employment
Unit assists employees and residents in identifying, reviewing, and resolving
alleged civil rights and fair housing violations. This unit investigates all instances of discrimination including employee harassment and issues appropriate
recommendations. This unit also accepts and assists in the filling out and processing of requests for Reasonable Accommodations made by employees as well as program participants, applicants and tenants.
The Contract Compliance Unit is responsible for ensuring that all contractors are in compliance with prevailing wage requirements, the Authority's Minority Participation Program (MPP) and Minority Women's Business Enterprise (MWBE) program, and Section 3 of the HUD Act of 1968.

The Grievance and Appeals Department is a separate department that conducts administrative
hearings on grievance panel appeals, applicant appeals, and proposed Section
8 terminations. You may find information on this department using the left-side navigation pane.
