Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission

Empowering equity and justice in Louisville as the "Civil Rights Arm" of the Metro Government. Welcome!

The Louisville Metro Human Relations Commission seeks to bridge the many ethnic, racial, and religious groups in Louisville Metro through a combination of civil law enforcement and education & outreach. We ensure that groups in Louisville participate in civic activities and have a voice in the community by bringing awareness of our diverse populations, and a fundamental need to blend these diverse community characteristics, into a more understanding, supportive, tolerant, all-inclusive society. We also monitor contract compliance for entities doing business with Louisville Metro Government. And, we have legally-chartered responsibilities to enforce anti-discrimination laws in Louisville Metro/Jefferson County, Kentucky.
