About
The Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC) was established in 1955 as the Pennsylvania Fair Employment Practice Commission (FEPC). The Commission serves residents of Pennsylvania from a Central Office in Harrisburg, and Regional Offices in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Philadelphia and is a charter member of the International Association of Official Human Rights Agencies. The Commission is mandated to enforce the Commonwealth's laws that prohibit discrimination because of race, color, religion, ancestry, age (40 and above), sex, national origin, non-job related disability, known association with a disabled individual, possession of a diploma based on passing a general education development test and familial status. The PHRC's jurisdiction covers employment, housing and commercial real estate, public accommodations, education, refusal or willingness to participate in abortion procedures and monitoring racial tension situations.
