Outside Fort Wayne City limits?

You think you may have a discrimination claim, but you've just noticed that you live or work just outside of the Fort Wayne city limits while our enforcement jurisdiction is within the City of Fort Wayne?  Does that mean that Fort Wayne Metro cannot help you?  No, you can still come to Metro, we will talk with you about your potential claim, assist you with filing a Charge if appropriate, and then forward that charge on to the appropriate agency to investigate.  We are here to help!  Call us at 260-427-1146 or come in and talk with an Investigator.
