Plain English

Phoenix Ch. 50 § 50-55 assigns the Commission on Human Relations two broad ongoing duties: circulating information about the article's fair-housing provisions among real estate professionals, lenders, municipal officials, and community groups, and producing educational materials along with recommendations aimed at eliminating housing discrimination. The section gives the Commission discretion to take additional steps it finds appropriate to advance those anti-discrimination goals. Together, these duties position the Commission as an active outreach and education body, not merely a complaint-processing office.

For Property Managers

Under Phoenix Ch. 50 § 50-55, the Commission on Human Relations is authorized to reach out directly to real estate brokers, salesmen, bankers, and lenders with information about the article's requirements. Operators who engage with Commission-distributed educational materials and recommendations are generally better positioned to understand their obligations under the broader ordinance. Staying informed about Commission outreach efforts is a common practice among property professionals seeking to maintain compliance with Phoenix's human-relations framework.

For Tenants

Phoenix Ch. 50 § 50-55 establishes that the Commission on Human Relations has an affirmative duty to produce and distribute educational materials about fair-housing rights and to make recommendations for eliminating discrimination. Tenants who believe they have experienced housing discrimination may find the Commission a useful starting point for understanding the protections available under this article, including what resources and information the Commission is required to make available. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Phoenix's human-relations ordinance can also help individuals understand how the Commission's educational and outreach functions connect to broader enforcement options.
