The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity awarded Fair Housing Center Of Central Indiana, Inc. $145,370 on March 9, 2026, under the Fair Housing Organization Initiatives program (CFDA 14.417) to educate the public about rights under the Fair Housing Act and state or local laws providing substantially equivalent protections against discriminatory housing practices.

Fair Housing Center Of Central Indiana operates across a 24-county service area in central Indiana, including the Indianapolis metropolitan statistical area, Bloomington, Columbus, Muncie, and portions of east-central Indiana along the Ohio border. The organization delivers three core service lines: housing discrimination testing and systemic investigation work that recruits and trains testers to conduct rental, lending, and homeowners insurance testing to identify Fair Housing Act violations; fair housing complaint investigation and enforcement; and public education and outreach through Fair Housing Act trainings and webinars delivered to landlords, real estate agents, housing industry professionals, community organizations, and the general public.

Performance runs through March 8, 2027. The intended beneficiaries are any person or group aggrieved by discriminatory housing practices based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin, and any person or group, including landlords or real estate agents, seeking to prevent such discriminatory practices. The program serves qualified fair housing enforcement organizations and nonprofit groups organizing to build capacity for fair housing enforcement.
