This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, under the Fair Housing Organization Initiatives (CFDA 14.417) program, provides $125,000 to Open Communities Alliance Inc., a Connecticut-based civil rights non-profit organization, to undertake various fair housing education, outreach, and enforcement activities. The key products and services to be delivered through this one-year grant include: updating the organization's website with improved information on fair housing rights, conducting trainings to educate the public on fair housing protections, producing guidance on combating exclusionary zoning practices, creating resources to assist housing voucher holders in finding housing, and publishing a report on the location of subsidized housing investments to promote fair housing and environmental justice goals. These activities aim to enhance understanding of fair housing laws, address systemic housing discrimination, and expand access to affordable housing opportunities for historically disenfranchised groups protected under the Fair Housing Act.
