Opportunity Summary:

The Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) - PEI is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to support efforts that prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices. The program is authorized under Section 561 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3616), and it is implemented through HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 125. Anyone considering an application is expected to rely on three core sources: the General Section of HUDs SuperNOFA (which lays out the general rules and procedures that apply across HUD competitive grants), the underlying FHIP authorizing statute, and the specific FHIP regulations that define eligible organizations, activities, and program requirements.

This funding opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number FR 5200 N 11A and falls under the Housing activity category with CFDA number 14.408 (Fair Housing Initiatives Program). The instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide a financial match to receive an award. The notice was posted on May 4, 2008, created May 8, 2008, and it had an application closing date of July 9, 2008 (with an archive date of July 10, 2008). The stated award ceiling is $19,000,000, indicating the maximum amount available under the competition as presented in the notice.

Eligibility is focused on organizations that already work on fair housing enforcement or that are positioned to carry out fair housing-related programs. Eligible applicants include Qualified Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations (QFHOs) and Fair Housing Enforcement Organizations (FHOs) as defined in 24 CFR 125.103. Beyond those categories, the notice also indicates that eligible entities can include public or private organizations (including for-profit and nonprofit organizations), institutions, and other public or private entities that are developing or carrying out programs aimed at preventing or eliminating discriminatory housing practices. Importantly, the opportunity also allows for entities that will be established as a result of receiving an award, which can open the door for newly formed organizations if they meet the programs requirements. State and local government agencies are also eligible, including agencies that participate in the Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP), which is HUDs partnership program that funds and supports state and local enforcement of fair housing laws.

The notice also references eligibility for an EOI National Program component, for which the eligible applicants include QFHOs, other fair housing enforcement organizations, and other nonprofit organizations representing groups protected under Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Fair Housing Act). This signals that, in addition to enforcement organizations, HUD intended to include certain mission-driven nonprofits that represent protected classes covered by federal fair housing law, as long as they meet the parameters described in the full NOFA materials.

For applicants needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues with electronic access, the notice lists HUD contacts Denise Brooks (202-402-7050) and Myron Newry (202-402-7095). The announcement also points applicants to an application package download link (not reproduced in the excerpt), implying that full instructions, required forms, thresholds, rating factors, and eligible activity details would be provided in the complete application package and the SuperNOFA General Section.
