About this opportunity
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking a cooperative agreement to develop and implement a centralized test coordinator training program for fair housing testing coordinators working within HUD's Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) and Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI). The primary objective is to provide comprehensive training that addresses various testing approaches, methodologies, and techniques for investigating potential fair housing law violations across complex contexts such as real estate sales, mortgage lending, and homeowners' insurance. Eligible applicants include qualified fair housing enforcement organizations, nonprofit organizations representing protected groups, and state/local government agencies. Applications will be competitively evaluated by a Technical Evaluation Panel using a point-based system, with a minimum score of 75 points required for funding consideration. The application deadline is August 21, 2025, at 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time, with all submissions to be made electronically through Grants.gov.
The funding opportunity will award approximately $500,000, with a single anticipated award ranging between $200,000 and $500,000 for a 12-month project period beginning November 1, 2025. HUD will exercise substantial involvement in the cooperative agreement, including approving all proposed deliverables and conducting monitoring reviews. The project will require quarterly reporting and detailed work plan submissions, with performance expected to begin 30 days after funding awards and continue for a minimum of 120 days. While the primary performance location is not explicitly specified, the national scope of the training program suggests flexibility in implementation across different geographic regions.
Synopsis
The Test Coordinator Training component (EOI-TCT) is designed to provide a centralized, coordinated effort for the development and implementation of a test coordinator training program for fair housing testing coordinators working for organizations participating in HUD"s FHIP Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) and Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI) to conduct investigations of violations of the Fair Housing Act and equivalent State of local laws. Training activities must address a variety of testing approaches and structures as well as provide coordinators with the most effective methodologies, technology, and techniques appropriate for productive testing approaches for each testing situation.Under a cooperative agreement, HUD will exercise the right to approve, and have substantial involvement in, all proposed deliverables, as well as the Work Plan or Statement of Work (SOW). For grants and cooperative agreements, HUD will conduct monitoring reviews, request quarterly reports, and approve all proposed deliverables as documented in the applicant"s Work Plan or SOW. Most EOI funds are awarded under grant agreements. However, national funds are awarded under cooperative agreements and remain in Headquarters since the awards have a nationwide impact and therefore require more complex and frequent oversight as well as Departmental approval of deliverables.
