Privacy and Rights

CHR/CHEEERS policy assures full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities. Title VI states that “no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination” under any CHR/CHEEERS sponsored program or activity. There is no distinction between the sources of funding.

CHR/CHEEERS also assures that every effort will be made to prevent discrimination through the impacts of its programs, policies, and activities on minority and low-income populations. Furthermore, CHR/CHEEERS will take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to services for persons with limited English proficiency.

CHR/CHEEERS will ensure all subrecipients fully comply with CHR/ CHEEERS Title VI Nondiscrimination Program requirements. The president and CEO has delegated the authority to Maria Whaley, director of operations, to oversee and implement FTA Title VI requirements.
