ensuring that the services provided and dollars expended by local
government are a strong and vibrant model of fairness among the
diverse groups that make up the neighborhoods of Philadelphia. The
Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the MOPD will focus on
promoting the value that diverse populations bring to our city; and
for everyone, will fairly and equitably promote opportunities to be a
part of the government. The MOPD is responsible for compliance under
Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Mayor’s
Commission on People with Disabilities. The MOPD is responsible for

Relations and the office of Human Resources through the ADA Liaison
