The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity awarded a $125,000 Project Grant under the Fair Housing Organization Initiatives (CFDA 14.417) program to the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council, Inc. (MMFHC). The grant project, titled "Interaction for Action," aims to engage faith-based organizations and religious congregations in Wisconsin to further fair housing and assist underserved populations, particularly religious minorities, who are vulnerable to housing discrimination. Key activities include educating and involving faith-based groups in fair housing efforts, conducting a statewide symposium, and implementing an outreach campaign to help identify and address housing discrimination and hate-related incidents against underserved populations. The intended outcomes are to equip religious minorities, refugees, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other underserved groups with fair housing information to exercise their rights, and to enable faith-based organizations to provide assistance and further fair housing in their local communities.
