The Jacksonville Human Rights Commission (JHRC) is a local law enforcement agency that investigates civil rights complaints alleging discrimination based on race, sex, religion, color, national origin, age, disability, marital or familial status in employment, housing, and areas of public accommodations. If you feel you have been discriminated against, you may file a complaint, in writing, under oath with the JHRC. Based on the facts obtained during the initial interview, JHRC may file a formal charge against the person and/or company/organization you name. Please note this is not a lawsuit.
All complaints in the JHRC are confidential. The investigator assigned to your charge is not your attorney or representative. He/She is a neutral party and does not represent you or the company. The investigator is dedicated to determining the facts surrounding your charge and making recommendations on the merits of the case.
