<br /> Order 12259, and Executive Order 11246 as amended by Executive Orders 11375, 11478, 12107 and 12086.
<br /> The Agency shall comply with the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (P. L. 88352), as
<br /> amended and 24 CFR 570.601 and 570.602.No person in the United States shall,on the ground of race, color, or
<br /> national origin,be excluded from participation in,be denied the benefits of,or be otherwise subjected to
<br /> discrimination under any program or activity funded by this agreement. The specific nondiscrimination provisions
<br /> at 24 CFR 1.4 apply to the use of these funds. The Agency shall not intimidate,threaten, coerce, or discriminate
<br /> against any person for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by Title VI of the Civil Rights
<br /> Act of 1964 or 24 CFR Part 1, or because he has made a complaint,testified, assisted, or participated in any
<br /> manner in an investigation,proceeding, or hearing under 24 CFR Part 1. The identity of complainants shall be
<br /> kept confidential except to the extent necessary to carry out the purposes of 2 CFR Part 1, including the conduct
<br /> of any investigation,hearing, or judicial proceeding arising thereunder.
<br /> 2. Nondiscrimination
<br /> a. 24 CFR part 6 and Other Applicable Rules
<br /> The Agency will comply with 24 CFR part 6,which implements the provisions of section 109 of title I of
<br /> the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (Title 1) (42 U.S.C. 5309). Section 109 provides
<br /> that no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race,color,national origin, religion, or sex,be
<br /> excluded from participation in,be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
<br /> program or activity funded in whole or in part with financial assistance.
<br /> Agency shall similarly adhere to applicable laws or rules prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual
<br /> orientation,gender identity or marital status.
<br /> The Agency will adhere to the prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of age under the Age
<br /> Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101-6107) (Age Discrimination Act) and the prohibitions against
<br /> discrimination on the basis of disability under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C.
<br /> 794) (Section 504). Section 109 of the HCD Act makes these requirements applicable to programs or
<br /> activities funded in whole or in part with City funds. Thus,the Agency shall comply with regulations of
<br /> 24 CFR part 8,which implement Section 504 for HUD programs, and the regulations of 24 CFR part 146,
<br /> which implement the Age Discrimination Act for HUD programs.
<br /> b. Americans with Disabilities Act
<br /> The Americans with Disabilities Act(42 USC. 12131; 47 U.S.C. 155, 201, 218 and 225) (ADA)provides
<br /> comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment,public
<br /> accommodations, state and local government services, and telecommunications. It further provides that
<br /> discrimination includes a failure to design and construct facilities for first occupancy no later than
<br /> January 26, 1993,that are readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. Further,the
<br /> ADA requires the removal of architectural barriers and communication barriers that are structural in
<br /> nature in existing facilities,where such removal is readily achievable—that is,easily accomplishable and
<br /> able to be carried out without much difficulty or expense.
<br /> The Agency shall comply with the non-discrimination in employment and contracting opportunities laws,
<br /> regulations, and executive orders referenced in 24 CFR 570.607 as revised by Executive Order 13279.
<br /> The applicable non-discrimination provisions in Section 109 of the HCD Act are still applicable.
