Providing Information to Families and Owners The PHA will take steps to ensure that families and owners are fully aware of all applicable civil rights laws. As part of the briefing process, the PHA must provide information to HCV applicant families about civil rights requirements and the opportunity to rent in a broad range of neighborhoods \[24 CFR 982.301\]. The Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract informs owners of the requirement not to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, familial status, or disability in connection with the contract. Discrimination Complaints If an applicant or participant believes that any family member has been discriminated against by the PHA or an owner, the family should advise the PHA. HUD requires the PHA to make every and take any warranted corrective action. In addition, the PHA is required to provide the applicant or participant with information about how to file a discrimination complaint \[24 CFR 982.304\]. SAHA Policy Applicants or participants who believe that they have been subject to unlawful discrimination may notify SAHA either orally or in writing. SAHA will attempt to remedy discrimination complaints made against SAHA. SAHA will provide a copy of a discrimination complaint form to the complainant and of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO). SAHA will also make referrals to the Orange County Fair Housing Council for assistance to our clients with Fair Housing issues that are outside our authority. Page 2-3 04/01/14
