FY 2027 Office of Human Rights budget

Prince George's County

Summary

The EEOC told the county's Human Rights office it won't reimburse investigations into sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination — those cases would be dismissed if filed federally, so the county handles them alone. Staff also worry landlords may deny applicants because of ICE enforcement. The office held its first all-Spanish community event, streamed by a Latino influencer to 7,000+ viewers.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Lost EEOC reimbursements aren't in the county's general budget — historically extra funds, so the gap hits outside the $2.8M budget.

✅Who benefits

Immigrant residents and residents facing discrimination, who get county-level protection and outreach.
