Fair housing assistance program state and local

The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity awarded the Utah Department of Workforce Service $357,400 on October 1, 2025, under the Fair Housing Assistance Program (CFDA 14.401), a formula grant supporting state and local fair housing enforcement agencies.

The award funds complaint processing, training, technical assistance, education and outreach, and data and information systems supporting fair housing enforcement and discrimination complaint investigation within Utah. The Utah Department of Workforce Service administers the state's fair housing enforcement activities under a Memorandum of Understanding with HUD, with certification renewed every five years on a demonstration of substantial equivalency to the Fair Housing Act.

The period of performance runs October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. Work is performed in Salt Lake City, Utah. The assistance type is a formula grant; cooperative agreements are executed for one year and provide funding through a lump-sum payment method. FHAP is a reimbursement program—funds are obligated at the end of the fiscal year after regional monitors review processed complaints for the period of performance.
