The Providence Human Relations
Commission
was
established by Ordinance in 1963 to enforce
laws of equal opportunity for all Providence
residents,
at a time when civil unrest was
sweeping many urban areas throughout the
country. The Providence Human Relations
Commission was created in response to the
turmoil that the city was experiencing. The
purpose of the commission was to build a
mutual understanding and respect among the
citys diverse populations.
The Commission protects
those feeling that they have been
discriminated against in one or more of
the areas listed below:
Race/Ethnicity
Immigration Status
Religion
Physical or Mental Disability
Marital Status
Age
Sexual Orientation
Sex
Gender Identity
The Commission investigates
and attempts to address complaints and
concerns of possible discrimination in the
following areas:
• Housing
• Employment
• Public Accommodation
• Education
• Credit Status
How do I file a complaint?
If you believe that you have been a victim
of discrimination, we encourage you to
contact the Human Relations Commission
Office to file a complaint.
The charges must be filed within six
months (180 Days) from the alleged
unlawful act. If the Commission has
jurisdiction in the matter, you will be asked
to complete an application and the case
will be assigned to an investigator.
If you feel that you have been discriminated against as the result of your race/ethnicity, immigration status, religion, physical or mental disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, sex, or gender identity, please call us. We want to help you!
