Non-Discrimination on the Basis of Sex in Education Programs and Activities Receiving Federal Financ
Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's mission is to increase homeownership, support community development and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. HUD fulfills this mission through high ethical standards, management and accountability, and by forming partnerships with community organizations.
Program Accomplishments
During Fiscal Year 2007, the Department did not receive any complaints under Title IX. The Department does not anticipate any complaints in Fiscal Year 2008.
Uses and Use Restrictions
Pertains to all education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance.
The goal of Title IX is to ensure that Federal funds are not utilized for and do not support sex-based discrimination, and that individuals have equal opportunities, without regard to sex, to pursue, engage or participate in, and benefit from academic, extracurricular, research, occupational training, employment, or other educational programs and activities.
