Opportunity Summary:
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) EOI is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support efforts that prevent, identify, and eliminate discriminatory housing practices. The program is grounded in federal fair housing law and is designed to strengthen enforcement and education work connected to Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Fair Housing Act). The legal authority for the program comes from Section 561 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3616), and the key implementing regulations are located at 24 CFR Part 125. Applicants are expected to review not only the specific FHIP statute and regulations, but also the General Section of HUDs SuperNOFA, which typically contains the standard application rules, threshold requirements, rating factors, and general federal grant conditions that apply across HUD competitions.
This particular opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number FR 5200 N 11B, titled "Fair Housing Iniative Program EOI" (as written in the listing). It is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and is categorized under Housing as the primary funding activity area. The CFDA listing is 14.408, which corresponds to the Fair Housing Initiatives Program. The posting date was May 4, 2008, with a closing date of July 9, 2008, and no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The notice indicates an award ceiling of $2,800,000, which generally reflects the maximum amount HUD would award under this opportunity (often either for a single award or as the upper bound for awards depending on how HUD structures the competition).
Eligibility is broad but still focused on organizations with fair housing enforcement capacity or a clear role in combating housing discrimination. Eligible applicants include Qualified Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations (QFHOs) and Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations (FHOs) as defined in 24 CFR 125.103. The notice also allows public or private organizations, for-profit or nonprofit entities, institutions, and other public or private bodies that are developing or carrying out programs intended to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices. Importantly, it also includes entities that may be established as a result of receiving an award under this NOFA, which signals that HUD is open to supporting new organizational capacity where justified. State and local government agencies are eligible as well, including agencies that participate in the Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP). For the EOI National Program specifically, the eligible pool emphasizes QFHOs, other fair housing enforcement organizations, and other nonprofit organizations that represent groups protected under Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. In practical terms, that points toward community-based and civil rights-oriented nonprofits with a mission tied to protected classes under the Fair Housing Act.
For applicants trying to understand what governs the program and what HUD will look for, the announcement is clear that the controlling framework is the FHIP authorizing statute, the regulations at 24 CFR Part 125 (including referenced sections such as 125.103), and the General Section of the SuperNOFA. Those sources usually spell out the operational expectations for funded work, such as how organizations should conduct fair housing enforcement-related activities, what constitutes eligible program activities, how performance will be measured, what financial management standards apply, and what reporting and compliance obligations come with the award.
The listing provides an application package download page as the route to the full announcement and materials. For access problems or questions tied to the full announcement, HUD provided contacts Denise Brooks (202-402-7050) and Myron Newry (202-402-7095) as program contacts.
