Marin Housing Authority Non-Discrimination Notice

MHA does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment, or employment in its federally assisted programs and activities.

If you believe that you or a member of your family with a disability has been discriminated against by MHA or by an owner on the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program, you may notify MHA orally or in writing.

504 Grievance Procedure

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a national law that protects qualified individuals from discrimination based on their disability. The nondiscrimination requirements of the law apply to employers and organizations that receive financial assistance from any Federal department or agency.

If an applicant or participant believes that any family member has been discriminated against by MHA or an owner on the basis of their disability, the family should advise MHA. MHA will make every reasonable attempt to determine whether the applicant’s or participant’s assertions have merit and take any warranted corrective action.

• Applicants or participants who believe that they have been subject to unlawful discrimination on the basis of their disability may notify MHA either orally or in writing.
• Within 10 business days of receiving the complaint, MHA will provide a written notice to those alleged to have violated the rule. MHA will also send a written notice to the complainant informing them that notice was sent to those alleged to have violated the rule, as well as information on how to complete and submit a housing discrimination complaint form to HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO).
• MHA will attempt to remedy such discrimination complaints made against MHA and will conduct an investigation into all allegations of discrimination.
• MHA shall not discriminate against any individual because such individual has opposed any act or practice made unlawful by this Act or because such individual made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under this Act and procedure.
• Within 10 business days following the conclusion of MHA's investigation, MHA will provide the complainant and those alleged to have violated the rule with findings and either a proposed corrective action plan or an explanation of why corrective action is not warranted.
• MHA will keep a record of all complaints, investigations, notices, and corrective actions.
• The employee responsible for receiving these complaints, performing the investigation, and provide findings is:
