To further its commitment to full compliance with applicable Civil Rights laws, the PHA will provide Federal/State/local information to applicants/tenants of the Public Housing Program and or the Housing Choice Voucher Program regarding discrimination and any recourse available to them if they believe they may be victims of discrimination.
