The Commission assists in assuring to all people the opportunity for full and equal participation in the affairs of City government and promotes the general welfare and safety of all residents in the Los Angeles community through activities and programs designed to reduce discrimination, tension and violence and to advance improved inter-group relations. The Commission supports efforts to create a city free of racism and violence where residents may live and work in an environment of respect, mutual tolerance and human diversity.

PLEASE NOTE: July 27, 2009 - As some of you may know, the Human Relations Commission has consolidated with the Commission on Children, Youth and Their Families and the Commission on the Status of Women to form the new Human Services Department.  We encourage you to learn more about the programs and services that the new Department will be offering at the all-Commission meeting on Thursday, July 30, 2009 from 9am-12pm in City Hall's Bradley Tower.  Please see attached flier for the agenda.
