The City, at the direction of Mayor Nadine Woodward, has begun recruiting candidates to serve as the point of contact for civil rights inquires.

The position, operating under the job title of Civil Rights and Housing Policy Program Coordinator, will be part of the Neighborhoods, Housing, and Human Services (NHHS) division. The position will perform a variety of specialized professional responsibilities related to human rights education and housing programs. The role administers and manages discrimination complaint processes, performs public outreach, makes presentations, acts as the technical program expert, and provides customer service to client or partner participants of programs. This capability also strengthens current and future equity initiatives in the City.

"This is an important resource and safeguard for those with discrimination concerns and complaint needs," Woodward said. "The selected candidate will also be a conduit for information, connectivity to community resources, and policy considerations."

City Council President Breean Beggs adds his appreciation for the position.

"I am thrilled that we will soon be achieving a long-time Council and personal goal of hiring a full-time City employee to respond to civil rights complaints of community members in the City of Spokane," Beggs said.
