Opportunity Summary:
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to support education and outreach that helps the public understand their rights and responsibilities under the federal Fair Housing Act and under state and local laws that are substantially equivalent. The overall purpose is practical and public-facing: funding goes to organizations that can meaningfully inform communities about fair housing protections, encourage compliance, and help prevent or reduce discriminatory housing practices through targeted education, training, and communications.
This opportunity is organized into two main program tracks (described as two components). The first is the EOI Regional/Local/Community Based Program (R/L/C B), which is the General Component. This component is broadly open to applicants proposing fair housing education and outreach activities, especially efforts that reach consumers and community members where they live and seek housing. In addition to general fair housing awareness, proposals under this component may include work focused on the fair housing needs of persons with disabilities, consumer education about fair housing topics, and related financial capability subjects such as financial literacy, credit management, and guidance on avoiding high-cost loans or abusive lending practices that may violate the Fair Housing Act. In other words, HUD allows the education and outreach to connect fair housing rights to real-world housing and lending scenarios, including predatory or discriminatory lending concerns, as long as the work aligns with fair housing goals.
The second track is the EOI National Based Program, National Media Campaign Component. This component includes everything described above for education and outreach, but adds a specific national-scale requirement: applicants must provide centralized coordination for an interactive, media-based effort to develop, implement, and distribute a fair housing media campaign. The campaign is expected to emphasize a fair housing public service announcement (PSA) or, alternatively, to enhance the online and offline capabilities of an existing campaign. Because this is a national media effort, HUD also imposes an experience qualification: the applicant must have at least five years of experience as an advertising/media or public relations organization, or must partner with an advertising and media services organization that has at least five years of that kind of experience.
Key administrative details from the announcement include the Funding Opportunity Number FR 5300 N 10C and the CFDA number 14.416 (Education and Outreach Initiatives). The funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is housing, and the estimated total funding available is $3,100,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which means applicants are not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of award. The opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2009, and an archive date of September 19, 2009.
Eligible applicants are described as qualified fair housing organizations (QFHOs), fair housing organizations (FHOs), and other nonprofit organizations representing groups protected under Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Fair Housing Act). Eligibility also extends to state or local government agencies, agencies certified by the HUD Secretary under the Fair Housing Act, and other public or private entities that are developing or carrying out programs intended to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices. For the National Media Campaign Component specifically, the additional media/PR experience requirement applies, either directly or through a formal partnership.
For application and access issues, HUD provided contacts within the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHIP Support Division): Myron P. Newry at 202-402-7095 and Denise L. Brooks at 202-402-7050 (not toll-free). A toll-free number, 1-800-290-1617, is listed for persons with hearing or speech impairments. The announcement also notes an additional information link directing applicants to download the application using the CFDA number.
