E. Civil Rights and Fair Housing

City Commission · 2026-05-27 · agenda_item

This item concerns the City of Winter Park's compliance with federal civil rights and fair housing laws. The Winter Park Housing Authority (WPHA) will follow specific federal regulations, including 24 CFR Part 5, Subpart A. This means WPHA must ensure no discrimination occurs in employment, contracting, or service provision based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, or disability. This is currently under review by the City Commission. While no specific construction project is detailed, compliance with these regulations is a foundational requirement for future WPHA activities. Businesses involved in government contracting, legal services, and administrative compliance may find opportunities related to ensuring adherence to these federal mandates. Early engagement with WPHA could provide insight into upcoming needs.
