  • Employment (for employers who employ 5-14 employees)
  • Housing (involving the sale or rental of housing with 4 or more units located in Broward County)
  • Public Accommodation (all services provided to the public)

It also oversees the Human Rights Advisory Board.​

Unlawful discrimination occurs when one’s rights are infringed upon based on a protected class identified under federal, state and local law.​​
