Opportunity Summary:
The Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) Education and Outreach Initiative is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen compliance with the federal Fair Housing Act. The basic purpose of this initiative is to prevent and reduce discriminatory housing practices by expanding fair housing education, outreach, and related capacity-building work in communities. HUD uses FHIP funding to help organizations inform the public and housing industry stakeholders about fair housing rights and responsibilities, encourage voluntary compliance, and support local and national efforts that make it easier for people to recognize, report, and address housing discrimination.
This opportunity falls under FHIP, which for this funding cycle is structured around three broad initiatives: Private Enforcement, Education and Outreach, and the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative. HUD indicates it will award grants or cooperative agreements under each of these initiatives, and applicants may be funded under particular initiatives or components depending on their eligibility. For this specific listing, the focus is the Education and Outreach Initiative, meaning proposed projects are expected to prioritize communication, training, technical assistance, and public-facing education activities that increase awareness and understanding of fair housing protections.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means HUD expects a more active role in the project compared to a standard grant. In practice, cooperative agreements often involve ongoing coordination with HUD staff, adherence to federal program guidance, and regular reporting and performance oversight tied to fair housing education and outreach deliverables. The funding activity category is Housing, and the relevant CFDA number is 14.416 (Education and Outreach Initiatives). HUD anticipated making a large number of awards for this cycle, with an expected 125 awards, signaling that the program is meant to reach many organizations and communities rather than concentrating resources in only a few projects.
Eligibility is broad but still limited to organizations and public entities with a connection to fair housing work. Eligible applicants include Qualified Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations (QFHOs) and Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations (FHOs), as well as public or private nonprofit organizations and institutions, and other public or private entities that are developing or running programs intended to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices. State and local government agencies are also eligible, including agencies participating in HUDs Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP). At the same time, the notice explicitly excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships from competing for or receiving awards under this announcement.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 31, 2014, with an application deadline of September 2, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on February 13, 2015. The listing shows estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor as $0, which typically reflects that the public synopsis did not provide dollar amounts in those fields rather than indicating that no funding would be awarded. Applicants would normally need to rely on the full HUD announcement for detailed funding levels, allowable costs, performance measures, and the specific education and outreach activities HUD intended to support.
For applicants needing the full solicitation details, HUD provided an additional information link to its funding availability page. The listed point of contact for access issues was Myron Newry (Myron.P.Newry@hud.gov) in HUD Grants Policy, indicating that questions about retrieving or navigating the announcement were directed to HUDs grants administration support rather than a program office help desk.
