Fair Housing Organization Initiatives Project Grant Summary

Trident Urban League Inc. received a $125,000 Project Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity under the Fair Housing Organization Initiatives program (CFDA 14.417) effective March 1, 2026, with a completion date of February 28, 2027. The award supports the organization's efforts to develop, implement, and coordinate programs and activities that educate the public about their rights under the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-3619) and equivalent state and local housing protections.

The funded initiative addresses discriminatory housing practices based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national origin. The grant benefits both persons and groups aggrieved by discriminatory housing practices as well as entities such as landlords and real estate agents seeking to prevent discriminatory conduct. As a Charleston-based nonprofit with established expertise in housing counseling and community services, Trident Urban League Inc. will leverage this funding to advance fair housing awareness and enforcement within its service area during the 12-month performance period.
