Race-Based Employee Housing Discrimination

An employee claimed discrimination based on her race when she complained about poor housing conditions and was subsequently threatened with termination after the employer learned of her disability.  The investigation found substantial evidence of discrimination and a settlement was reached between the parties on March 28, 2019, in which the Complainant agreed to withdraw her complaint with the Commission and the Respondent agreed to conduct training.  Due to logistical challenges, final training is expected to be completed by July 1, 2022.  The Commission continues to monitor the terms of the agreement.
