Title VI Notice to the Public

Any individual, group of individuals or entity that believes they have been discriminated against on the basis of race, color, or national origin by the Powell Senior Citizens Ago-Go, Inc. may file a Title VI complaint by completing and submitting the agency's Title VI Complaint Form. 

​

If the complainant is unable to reduce the complaint to writing, please contact the Title VI Coordinator using the information below, and a staff member will help dictate the complaint or provide other necessary assistance. 

​

Any individual having filed a complaint or participated in the investigation of a complaint shall not be subjected to any form of intimidation or retaliation.

 

Individuals who have cause to think that they have been subjected to intimidation or retaliation can file a complaint of retaliation following the same procedure for filing a discrimination complaint. 

​

A complaint must be filed with the Powell Senior Citizens Ago-Go, Inc. no later than 180 days after the following: 

​

• The date of the alleged act of discrimination; or ​

​

• The date when the person(s) became aware of the alleged discrimination; or

​

• Where there has been a continuing course of conduct, the date on which that conduct was discontinued of the latest instance of the conduct. 

​

Once the complaint is received, the Powell Senior Citizens Ago-Go, Inc. will review it to determine if our office has jurisdiction. A copy of each Title VI complaint received will be forwarded to the agency's Title VI Coordinator. The complainant will receive an acknowledgement letter informing her/him whether the complaint will be investigated by our office. 

​

The Powell Senior Citizens Ago-Go, Inc. has 60 days to investigate the complaint. If more information is needed to resolve the case, the Powell Senior Citizens Ago-Go, Inc. may contact the complainant requesting further information. The complainant has 45 business days from the date of the letter, to send requested information to the investigator assigned to the case. If the investigator is not contacted by the complainant or does not receive the additional information within 45 business days, the Powell Senior Citizens Ago-Go, Inc. can administratively close the case. 

​

After the investigator reviews the complaint, the agency will issue one of two (2) letters to the complainant: a closure letter or a letter of finding (LOF). 

​

• A closure letter summarizes the allegations and states that there was not a Title VI violation and that the case will be closed. 

​​

• A letter of finding (LOF) summarizes the allegations and the interviews regarding the alleged incident, and explains whether any disciplinary action, additional training of the staff member, or other action will occur. 

​

If the complainant wishes to appeal the decision it must direct the appeal back to the agency. The complainant has 30 days after receipt of the closure letter or the letter of finding to do so. The appeal will be investigated and decided by a separate party than the Title VI Coordinator (or other official who issued the initial decision).

 

To submit an appeal, write a detailed letter listing the reasons for an appeal and send to the contact person and address listed below.
