The Agency shall not discriminate on any of the foregoing grounds in the awarding of any contract, in the provision of services, or in other activities made possible by the Project Services Agreement. This prohibition also applies to discriminatory use of any criteria or methods of administration in determining: (i) the types of services or other benefits to be provided to an individual; or (ii) the class of individuals to whom, or the situation in which, such services or other benefits will be provided; or (iii) the class of individuals to be afforded an opportunity to participate--any of which may have an effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination on the prohibited grounds or may have the effect of defeating or substantially impairing their opportunities.
