The Office of Civil Rights consists of three units: Fair Housing & Employment,
Contract Compliance, and Grievance and Appeals. The Fair Housing & Employment
Unit assists employees and residents in identifying, reviewing, and resolving
alleged civil rights and fair housing violations. This unit also investigates
all instances of discrimination including employee harassment and issues appropriate
recommendations. The Contract Compliance Unit is responsible for ensuring that
all contractors are in compliance with prevailing wage requirements and the
Authority's Minority Participation Program (MPP) and Minority Women's Business
Enterprise (MWBE) programs. The Grievance and Appeals Unit conducts administrative
hearings on grievance panel appeals, applicant appeals, and proposed Section
8 terminations.
