Florida Commission On Human Relations

The Florida Commission on Human Relations is a U.S. state government entity registered with SAM.gov since October 2012, serving as Florida's fair housing enforcement agency and civil rights authority. The organization receives federal funding through both contract and grant awards to support its core mission of investigating discrimination claims, providing enforcement of fair housing and employment discrimination laws, and conducting outreach and education activities. As the state's certified fair housing enforcement agency, the Commission leverages federal partnerships to strengthen its capacity to address housing and employment discrimination complaints across Florida.

The Florida Commission on Human Relations has received prime federal contract awards from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to support federal employment discrimination law enforcement efforts within the state. The most significant recent contract is a $2,967,810.00 firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the EEOC (PR#FP230185) with no set-aside designation, running from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2025. This contract represents the primary vehicle through which the Commission provides services to the EEOC and reflects a sustained federal partnership, as evidenced by prior EEOC awards including a $1,003,400 contract for fiscal year 2023 and a $2,418,850 award for fiscal year 2020. The contract does not specify particular goods but rather encompasses unspecified services related to the EEOC's broader mission of enforcing federal employment discrimination laws, indicating the Commission serves as an operational partner in federal compliance and enforcement activities.

The Florida Commission on Human Relations has received substantial prime federal grant funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Fair Housing Assistance Program (CFDA 14.401), which represents the primary source of grant revenue for the organization. The most recent award is a $1,473,712.65 formula grant for the period October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, which supports the Commission's investigation and enforcement of housing discrimination claims, training delivery, technical assistance, and fair housing education and outreach activities. Prior to this current award, the Commission received multiple cooperative agreements under the Fair Housing Assistance Program beginning in fiscal year 2021 and continuing through 2024, with awards issued in July and October cycles across multiple fiscal years. The grant programs specifically fund the Commission's administrative operations to support the complaint processing lifecycle, including potential technology infrastructure improvements, information systems development, and capacity-building initiatives. All grant funding flows through the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity within HUD, positioning the Commission as a critical state partner in implementing federal fair housing enforcement and public education mandates.
