Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6100 N 21B
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI) notice of funding availability (NOFA), issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), provides discretionary grant funding to strengthen fair housing enforcement capacity in communities. The core purpose of FHIP funding is to increase compliance with the Fair Housing Act by supporting organizations that help prevent, identify, and address housing discrimination. Under this particular NOFA, HUD is only accepting applications for the FHOI Initiative (not the other FHIP initiatives), and the funding is aimed at either establishing or sustaining fair housing enforcement organizations and improving their ability to carry out fair housing work.
For FY2017, HUD made $500,000 available under this FHOI NOFA, with the note that additional funding could potentially be added later if HUD recaptures unused funds, uses carryover dollars, or receives additional appropriations. Any added funding would still be bound by statutory limits and by the funding restrictions described both in the FHIP General Section and in this NOFA. HUD also makes clear that funding beyond FY2017 would only occur if future appropriations are available, meaning applicants should not assume continuation funding unless Congress funds it and HUD makes it available.
A key structural point is that FHIP funding is divided into three separate initiatives: Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI), Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI), and Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI). In FY2017, HUD separated these initiatives into different NOFAs, so applicants must choose the correct NOFA for the initiative they are seeking. If an organization wants to pursue funding across multiple initiatives or multiple components, it can do so only if it meets the eligibility rules for each one and submits a separate application for each relevant NOFA and each component. Even then, awards are still governed by HUDs internal funding restriction rules referenced in the NOFA (including the restriction section noted as Section IV.F.5).
Within the FHOI Initiative, the funding offered in this competition is for the Continued Development General Component (CDGC). The CDGC component is designed to support the continued existence and capacity-building of fair housing organizations, with an emphasis on strengthening their ability to enforce the Fair Housing Act and address discriminatory housing practices. HUD anticipates making about two awards under this NOFA, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $250,000, which aligns with the total $500,000 available.
Administrative details from the opportunity listing include: the opportunity title is "Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Fair Housing Organizations Initiative," the opportunity number is FR 6100 N 21B, and it is offered by HUD under CFDA number 14.417 (Housing). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary. The listing indicates eligible applicants as "Others," with additional eligibility clarification provided in the NOFA text (meaning eligibility is not open-ended and applicants must rely on the NOFAs specific criteria and the eligibility chart referenced in Section III.A.1). The NOFA was created on Aug 01, 2017, and the original application deadline was Sep 18, 2017, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
In practical terms, this NOFA is geared toward fair housing organizations that either need support to maintain and expand their operational capacity or to improve their effectiveness as fair housing enforcement entities. It is not a general community outreach competition under EOI, nor is it the private enforcement-focused PEI competition. Applicants considering more than one FHIP funding track must carefully separate and tailor each application to the relevant initiative and component, follow the NOFAs stated restrictions, and ensure they meet the specific eligibility requirements HUD set for the CDGC component under FHOI.Apply for FR 6100 N 21B
