Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Legal Services Of North Florida, Inc. received a $125,000 Project Grant award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027, 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). The organization will develop, implement, and coordinate public education programs regarding rights under the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-3619) and substantially equivalent state or local housing rights legislation. These services will be delivered from the organization's Tallahassee, Florida location.

The grant supports Legal Services Of North Florida's efforts to educate the public—including persons aggrieved by discriminatory housing practices and those seeking to prevent such practices—about protections against housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, and national origin. As an established nonprofit legal services provider with demonstrated expertise in serving vulnerable populations, the organization will leverage this funding to build awareness and understanding of fair housing rights among underserved communities across the region during the 12-month performance period.
