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 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 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.
