About the company
The Equal Rights Center, a Washington, DC-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering fair housing education, outreach, and enforcement support to the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Justice. All 22 of the organization's recent federal awards are prime grants; the vendor does not hold federal contracts and engages no subcontractors on federal work.
The organization's federal footprint is concentrated entirely in fair housing work under HUD's Fair Housing Organization Initiatives and Private Enforcement Initiatives programs (CFDA 14.417 and related). The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity accounts for 20 of 22 awards (91% of volume); the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and HUD account for the remaining two. Recent grant work includes a $125,000 Project Grant awarded February 1, 2026, by HUD's Fair Housing Organization Initiatives program (CFDA 14.417) to support public education and outreach about Fair Housing Act rights and responsibilities, with completion targeted for January 31, 2027. The Equal Rights Center also received two additional Project Grants from HUD's Fair Housing Organization Initiatives program with award dates of July 1, 2024, and July 1, 2022, respectively, both addressing fair housing education, discrimination awareness, and provider compliance training across the Greater Washington, DC region, Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Jefferson County, West Virginia. A fourth grant awarded July 1, 2024, under HUD's Equity and Opportunity (EOI) component focuses on racial desegregation, fair housing barriers affecting voucher holders, and affirmatively furthering fair housing in partnership with the Metropolitan Council of Governments. The organization also holds or held grants under HUD's Private Enforcement Initiatives program (awarded July 1, 2023, with completion through July 31, 2026, and April 1, 2022, with completion through September 30, 2023).
Activity has remained sparse and episodic — two awards in 2021, two in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2026 — with two grants completing within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. The combined potential value across all awards is $15,000, though combined dollars obligated across all awards total $7.6 million, indicating that the source's "potential value" field does not capture grant modifications, amendments, or the full authorized scope of these multi-year awards. The organization's service delivery encompasses "know your rights" training, housing provider education programs, community awareness events, and educational materials designed to increase public understanding of fair housing protections and reach underserved and low-income populations vulnerable to housing discrimination.
