The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through its Fair Housing Organization Initiatives (FHOI) program (CFDA 14.417), awarded a $260,000 project grant to High Plains Fair Housing Center, Inc. (MS Division) on February 3, 2025. The grant will enable High Plains to continue developing expertise in sales investigations, testing, and data analysis techniques. High Plains will also expand its enforcement program by training on lending investigations, including testing and data analysis. Additionally, the funding will support High Plains' ongoing systemic sales investigations and the expansion of its enforcement program to investigate cases of lending discrimination for bona fide clients and systemic cases. The key activities to be performed include analyzing demographic data, conducting 50 rental tests, continuing systemic investigations, empowering complainants to file claims, providing 4 workshops, and completing 35 intakes. The expected outcomes include increased compliance with fair housing laws, dismantling barriers to housing choice for underserved populations, and empowering complainants to file fair housing claims.
