The Ambler Human Relations Commission (to be referred to as HRC) was established on May 17, 2016, by ordinance # 1098. This ordinance specifies that discrimination is prohibited in housing and commercial property, employment and public accommodation on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, age, familial status, religious creed, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, national origin, handicap or disability, use of guide or support animals due to blindness, deafness or physical handicap of the user or in the event that the user is a handler/trainer for a support/guide animal. The designated characteristics listed above, define aspects of being part of a “protected class”.
If you live or work in the Borough of Ambler and feel that you have been discriminated against based on being a part of any “protected class”, under this ordinance, you may contact the Borough’s HRC by calling 215-646-1000 to leave a message for a return contact from the HRC. Be sure to designate that you are requesting contact from an HRC representative.
An HRC representative will contact you to discuss your concern, ascertain whether the “protected class designation” covers your concern, is within their jurisdiction, and provide a complaint form as indicated.
