About this program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity administers the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (CFDA 14.408), which funds fair housing enforcement, education, and outreach initiatives; the most recent grant award was dated November 20, 2012, over thirteen years ago.
This program has not issued new grant awards since 2012. The portfolio spans 128 awards distributed over a nine-year period (2003–2012), with highly uneven annual activity: 12 awards in 2008, 16 in 2010, but only 1 in 2009 and 2 in 2011. The program's total federal obligation was $26.6 million across all 128 awards. HUD is the sole funding agency.
The program funds three core activity areas: private enforcement initiatives to support fair housing litigation and investigations, public education and outreach on fair housing rights, and organizational capacity-building for fair housing advocates. Representative recent awards include a private enforcement project obligating $825 thousand (October 2008), an education and outreach initiative at $1.199 million (January 2010), and multiple private enforcement grants in the $275 thousand to $550 thousand range (2007–2010). Award magnitudes range from under $50 thousand to approximately $1.2 million, with most awards falling in the $100 thousand to $300 thousand band.
All 128 awards in the portfolio were structured as Project Grants. The single grant opportunity surfaced in the recent-opportunities block was posted July 22, 2015, with a due date of August 26, 2015, under solicitation FR-5900-N-21. That opportunity sought Cooperative Agreement funding and restricted eligibility to Qualified Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations, Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations, nonprofit and governmental entities, and FHAP-participating agencies—excluding individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships. No grant opportunities are currently open.
This program appears inactive for grant-making purposes and does not present a viable funding opportunity at this time.
