Title VI Policy

You can access Native American Connections' Title VI policy in its entirety here.

The Native American Connections policy assures full compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.  Title VI states that “no person shall on the grounds of race, color or national origin be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination” under any Native American Connections sponsored program or activity.  There is no distinction between the sources of funding.

Native American Connections also assures that every effort will be made to prevent discrimination through the impacts of its programs, policies and activities on minority and low-income populations. Furthermore, Native American Connections will take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to services for persons with limited English proficiency.

When Native American Connections distributes Federal-aid funds to another entity/person, Native American Connections will ensure all sub-recipients fully comply with Native American Connections Title VI Nondiscrimination Program requirements. The President/CEO has delegated the authority to the Director of Human Resources as Title VI Program Coordinator, to oversee and implement FTA Title VI requirements.

Getting Help

A "chronically homeless" individual is defined to mean a homeless individual with a disability who lives either in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven, or in an emergency shelter or in an institutional care facility if the individual has been living in the facility for fewer than ninety (90) days and had been living in a place not meant for human habitation, a safe haven or in an emergency shelter immediately before entering the institutional care facility. In order to meet the ‘‘chronically homeless’’ definition, the individual also must have been living as described above continuously for at least twelve (12) months or on at least four (4) separate occasions in the last three (3) years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least twelve (12) months. Each period separating the occasions must include at least seven (7) nights of living in a situation other than a place not meant for human habitation, in an emergency shelter or in a safe haven.

Federal nondiscrimination laws define a person with a disability to include any (1) individual with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; (2) individual with a record of such impairment; or (3) individual who is regarded as having such an impairment. In general, a physical or mental impairment includes, but is not limited to, examples of conditions such as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), developmental disabilities, mental illness, drug addiction, and alcoholism.
