Opportunity Summary:
The Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) Fair Housing Organization Initiative is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen compliance with the Fair Housing Act. The program’s basic purpose is to support organizations and activities that help prevent, identify, and remedy housing discrimination, while also building the overall capacity of fair housing enforcement and education efforts. For this funding cycle, HUD organized FHIP into three main initiatives: Private Enforcement, Education and Outreach, and the Fair Housing Organization Initiatives. Under this particular opportunity, HUD indicates it will make awards (as grants/cooperative agreements) across these initiatives or components depending on applicant eligibility, meaning applicants are considered for the initiative/component that fits their qualifications and proposed work.
This competition is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means HUD anticipates a more active role than in a standard grant, such as substantial involvement in monitoring, coordination, or technical guidance during the project period. The funding activity category is Housing, and the CFDA number tied to the Fair Housing Organization Initiatives is 14.417. HUD projected a relatively large national competition, with an estimated 125 awards expected. Total estimated funding available was approximately $38.3 million, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $125,000 up to a ceiling of $1,000,000. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a non-federal match to be eligible or competitive, although applicants may still choose to leverage other resources in their project design if allowed by program rules.
The application timeline for this opportunity reflects a short federal competition window. The opportunity was posted on July 31, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014. Applications submitted electronically were required to be received by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The record shows an archive date of November 3, 2014, indicating the competition is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference point for how HUD structured this FHIP cycle and what it prioritized.
Eligibility is restricted and does not include everyone. The notice specifically excludes individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations from competing for or receiving awards under the announcement. The eligible applicant category is listed generally as “Others,” with the key clarification located in the full announcement under the “Additional Information on Eligibility” section. In practice, opportunities like this typically focus on organizations that can credibly carry out fair housing enforcement, testing, education, outreach, or capacity-building work aligned with the Fair Housing Act, but the exact eligible entity types and any required organizational characteristics are defined in the full HUD posting.
For applicants or interested parties needing the official documentation, HUD provided an additional information link through its funds-available portal: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUDsrc/programoffices/administration/grants/fundsavail. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Myron Newry (Myron.P.Newry@hud.gov) in HUD Grants Policy.
