Fair housing assistance program state and local

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity awarded the North Dakota Department of Labor and Human Rights $111,100 on October 1, 2025, under the Fair Housing Assistance Program (CFDA 14.401).

The funding supports HUD-approved and HUD-sponsored training for agency staff responsible for administering and enforcing North Dakota's fair housing laws. Training funds are fixed amounts allocated based on the number of agency employees to be trained. All staff of the agency responsible for fair housing investigation and enforcement must participate in HUD-approved training each year, including mandatory attendance at events such as the National Fair Housing Training Academy and the National Fair Housing Policy Conference. If the agency does not participate in mandatory HUD-approved and HUD-sponsored training, training funds will be deducted from the agency's overall training amount. The expected outcome is to ensure that all staff has the necessary knowledge to administer fair investigations and enforce fair housing law under the Fair Housing Act.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Bismarck, North Dakota. The assistance type is a formula grant, with funding obligated at the end of the fiscal year after regional monitors review the agency's performance for the period.
