About me
The DC Office of Human Rights (OHR) is a DC government agency that investigates, mediates, and adjudicates, complaints of discrimination. Additionally, OHR works to prevent discrimination through outreach and awareness campaigns. If you believe you have been discriminated against in DC in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations/government services, or educational institutions, you can file a complaint with our office at no cost. If probable cause is found, the case will be certified for a full hearing on the merits to see whether there has been a violation of the law. If discrimination is found, monetary or other damages may be awarded. Throughout the process, OHR offers various mediation and conciliation opportunities.
