The Suffolk County Human Rights Commission, based in Hauppauge, NY, has been dedicated to combating bias and discrimination against residents since the 1960s. Comprised of 15 voluntary members and seven paid staff, the commission accepts complaints from the public related to various forms of discrimination.
Residents in Suffolk County can file complaints within one year of experiencing unfair discrimination in areas such as employment, housing, public accommodations, credit, or volunteer firefighting. Upon receiving a complaint, the county conducts investigations and, if deemed necessary, holds public hearings to address the issues of discrimination.
