We also anticipate reaching over 1,550 people each year through the proposed activities under this grant thereby informing them of the services of the fhcci, providing fair housing assistance or counseling about fair housing law rights and responsibilities, and making resources available. This project will promote and increase compliance with the fair housing act by assisting victims of housing discrimination in understanding their rights and also by completing systemic investigations. These services will also support HUD's strategic goals, sub-goals or policy priorities of protecting and educating consumers when they buy, refinance or rent a home; expanding families' choices of affordable rental homes located in a broad range of communities; building inclusive and sustainable communities free from discrimination; affirmatively furthering fair housing; and capacity building and knowledge sharin
