Monthly meetings held at 3:30pm on the first Monday of each month in person at 902 City-County Building or on Zoom via City Channel Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh Commission on Human Relations (PghCHR) studies and investigates complaints of alleged discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations and civil rights practices, as well as any conditions having an adverse effect on intergroup re
lations in the city. PghCHR conducts education and other outreach programs (including speakers) for schools, community groups, businesses and professional organizations, and City Departments. Anyone who lives, works, or visits Pittsburgh has a legal right of access to housing, employment, and public accommodations. The Commission on Human Relations helps investigate instances of discrimination and find resolutions for anyone who has experienced discrimination. We work with communities, and public and private organizations, to proactively educate people about equal rights and opportunities. The Commission on Human Relations has the power to enforce punitive legal action, but our Commissioners recognize that constructive resolutions, such as mandating trainings and policy changes, are more likely to lead to changes in behavior or changes in their practice. We are dedicated to creating positive change and promoting equality, which stands out in our efforts to proactively work with communities, businesses, and organizations to prevent discrimination before it begins.
