The Cambridge Human Rights Commission is a city law enforcement agency that investigates complaints of discrimination that occur in Cambridge -- in housing, employment, education, and public accommodations. The Commission enforces two ordinances: the Cambridge Human Rights Ordinance, chapter 2.76 and the Cambridge Fair Housing Ordinance, chapter 14.04. We also work with MCAD to enforce MGL chapter 151B and 151C and other chapters, the ADA, Title VII, and with HUD to enforce FFHA. These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, gender, physical and mental disability, sexual orientation, religion, age, family status, military status, and source of income. The Commission also aids the City of Cambridge by educating both businesses and residents, providing community outreach, and cooperating with other city, state and federal agencies. The Commission is available to conduct workshop presentations on fair housing and employment discrimination for community groups, social service agencies, and schools. we have an employee that is fluent in both Spanish and English and another one that is fluent in Vietnamese and English.
