Opportunity Summary:
The Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that funds nonprofit organizations working to prevent and address housing discrimination under the federal Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended). In the FY2013 notice, HUD offers support through cooperative agreements for activities that strengthen fair housing enforcement, expand public knowledge of fair housing rights and responsibilities, and build or sustain the capacity of fair housing organizations. The program is organized around three main initiatives, each aimed at a different part of the fair housing ecosystem: investigating discrimination, educating the public, and developing organizational capacity so fair housing work can continue and grow.
The first initiative, the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) (CFDA 14.418), focuses on direct enforcement. Funding is intended for private, nonprofit fair housing enforcement organizations to investigate and pursue alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act. In practical terms, this typically includes activities like intake of discrimination complaints, testing (such as comparing treatment of similarly situated applicants), investigations, documentation of evidence, and other enforcement-related actions that help identify and address illegal discriminatory housing practices. The emphasis is on real-world, case-driven enforcement that can deter discrimination and provide remedies when violations occur.
The second initiative, the Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) (CFDA 14.416), supports public-facing education. This funding is designed for organizations that inform the general public about their rights and obligations under the Fair Housing Act. Outreach and education efforts commonly target renters, homebuyers, housing providers, lenders, and community stakeholders to improve awareness of what the law prohibits (for example, discrimination based on protected characteristics) and how to recognize and respond to discriminatory practices. The goal is prevention as much as response, making it easier for people to understand the rules and seek help early when issues arise.
The third initiative, the Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI) (CFDA 14.417), is centered on organizational development and stability. It provides funding to establish new fair housing enforcement organizations and to support the continued existence of existing fair housing organizations by building their capacity to enforce fair housing protections. Capacity building can include developing infrastructure, improving systems and staffing, strengthening governance and program management, expanding service coverage, and otherwise ensuring organizations have the tools to carry out enforcement and related fair housing work over time. This initiative is especially geared toward sustaining and expanding the nationwide network of fair housing organizations so enforcement and education efforts remain available in more communities.
Eligibility is focused on nonprofit fair housing entities, including Qualified Fair Housing Organizations (QFHOs), Fair Housing Organizations (FHOs), and other private nonprofit fair housing enforcement organizations. The notice also indicates eligibility for nonprofit groups that are organizing or building their capacity to provide fair housing enforcement, particularly to support initiatives addressing mortgage lending discrimination and education about enforcing the Fair Housing Act. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which means applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number FR 5700 N 03 under HUD, categorized as Housing, and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The original posting date is March 13, 2013, with a closing date of June 11, 2013 (and a note that HUD could adjust deadlines or requirements if FY2013 appropriations or timelines changed, with technical corrections issued to guide applicants). Application materials were to be accessed using the CFDA number, and HUD provided program contact points within the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO), specifically within the FHIP Division, for assistance with accessing or understanding the announcement.
