Cambridge Human Rights Commission (CHRC)

CHRC 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. These laws prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, age, family status, marital status, military status and source of income.
