Title VI Non Discrimination Plan

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Title VI, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq. was enacted as part of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the City of Gastonia as a recepient of federal funds, prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Programs that receive federal funds cannot distinguish among individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin, either directly or indirectly, in the types, quantity, quality, or timeliness of program services, aids or benefits that they provide or the manner in which they provide them.

The City of Gastonia has adopted the Title VI Plan to ensure that the City is in compliance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Any person who believes they have been wronged by a discriminatory act (whether by an action or an inaction) of the City of Gastonia or its funding recipients, has the right to file a written complaint with the City of Gastonia within 180 days after the discrimination occurred.
