About this opportunity
This Notice of Funding Opportunity announces $3.7 million available through the Fair Housing Initiative Program to support fair housing organizations. Administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, funding will provide up to $260,000 per award under the Continued Development Component and up to $1.88 million under the Establishing New Organizations Component. Eligible applicants include qualified fair housing enforcement organizations and nonprofits that will investigate allegations of housing discrimination based on protected classes, conduct testing, pursue enforcement actions, and provide education. Applications will be evaluated based on the proposed plan and budget, organizational capacity, and effectiveness in meeting program objectives. The deadline is November 30, 2023, with awards to be announced by April 2024.
Funding will support either a 12-18 month project period under the Continued Development Component or a 36 month period under the Establishing New Organizations Component. The Establishing New Organizations Component specifically aims to establish new organizations to provide fair housing enforcement and related activities in currently underserved areas.
Synopsis
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) funds non-profits and other fair housing organizations and currently provides funding to eligible organizations through competitive grants under several Initiatives to carry out education and outreach and enforcement activities to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices and to inform individuals of their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act (FHA). The Initiatives are the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI), the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) and the Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI). In addition, consistent with FY2023 HUD appropriations directives, FHEO is publishing a separate NOFO for EOI Test Coordinator Training.This FHOI NOFO makes available $1,820,000 under the Continued Development Component (CDC) and $1,880,000 under the Establishing New Organizations Component (ENOC). The CDC provides funds to eligible non-profit fair housing organizations to build their capacity and effectiveness to conduct enforcement related activities eligible for funding such as but not limited to: investigating discrimination allegations based on sexual orientation and gender identity, source of income and religious bias, or expanding testing experience in mortgage lending discrimination or appraisal bias.The ENOC provides funds to Qualified Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations (QFHOs) ("sponsoring organizations") to establish new, separate organizations ("sponsored organizations") to engage in fair housing work, particularly in areas of the country which are currently unserved or underserved by fair housing enforcement organizations. Eligible activities under the ENOC are those that establish a single organization to become a viable regional/local fair housing enforcement organization that will conduct testing and other fair housing enforcement-related activities. This NOFO will receive applications for the FHOI NOFO only. Please see the FY2023 PEI and EOI NOFOs for additional FHIP funding opportunities.
