Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6500 N 21 A
The Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administered through HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO). It focuses specifically on supporting education and outreach efforts that help the public understand their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act. While FHIP also includes other initiatives, such as the Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI) and the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI), this particular Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is only for EOI activities, with separate NOFOs issued for FHOI, PEI, and Tester Coordinator Training.
This NOFO makes approximately $7,218,649 available in total funding, which includes $343,649 in carryover funds from FY 2020. The core purpose is to fund projects that develop, implement, carry out, and coordinate education and outreach programs designed to inform members of the public about fair housing protections and obligations. In practical terms, HUD is looking to fund efforts that increase awareness of the Fair Housing Act, reduce misinformation, and strengthen community understanding of what illegal housing discrimination looks like and what people can do if they experience it.
Eligible activities are broad and can include, but are not limited to, developing educational advertising campaigns, creating and distributing outreach and educational materials, and hosting educational events such as workshops, conferences, seminars, and trainings. These activities are meant to reach renters, homebuyers, housing providers, real estate professionals, lending-related audiences, and the general public, depending on the applicant's proposed approach. The emphasis is on clear, accessible education that helps communities recognize fair housing violations and understand compliant behavior and responsibilities.
Funding within the EOI NOFO is organized into three components. First, $1,000,000 is reserved for a National Media Campaign, supporting large-scale outreach intended to reach broad audiences. Second, $300,000 is allocated for a National Programs Component focused on a Disability Deinstitutionalization and Integration Educational Campaign, reflecting a targeted emphasis on disability-related fair housing issues and integration. Third, about $5,918,649 is set aside for general education and outreach activities, which can support a wide range of local, regional, or specialized projects aimed at informing people of their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act.
The opportunity is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 14.416 and uses a grant funding instrument. The award ceiling is $500,000 per award, and HUD anticipated making about 52 awards under this NOFO. The opportunity number is FR 6500 N 21 A, and it was posted April 27, 2021, with an application deadline of June 14, 2021 at 11:59:59 PM Eastern. Eligibility is indicated as "Others" with additional eligibility details provided in the full NOFO text, meaning applicants need to consult the official eligibility language to confirm whether their organization type and proposed activities qualify.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to expand fair housing awareness through education and outreach rather than enforcement or testing work, and applicants interested in those other FHIP tracks are directed to the separate FHOI, PEI, and Tester Coordinator Training solicitations.Apply for FR 6500 N 21 A
