About OHR

The mission of the Office of Human Relations (OHR) is to promote equality of opportunity for the citizens of Orlando by advocating policies of nondiscrimination and administering City and Federal laws that prohibit discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodation.

The OHR is an agent of both the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and is responsible for investigating and resolving complaints of discrimination.  As per agreements with EEOC and HUD, the OHR is also responsible for conducting education and outreach activities for the public, designed to increase citizen awareness of their rights and the remedies available to them under existing discrimination laws.  Additionally, the OHR conducts training workshops/seminars for employers, housing providers, and individuals involved in the business of providing/allowing access to places of public accommodation.
