SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
3601-19 (the Fair Housing Act) provides the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development with responsibility to accept and investigate
complaints alleging discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex,
handicap, familial status or national origin in the sale, rental, or
financing of most housing. In addition, the Fair Housing Act directs
the Secretary to coordinate with State and local agencies administering
fair housing laws and to cooperate with and render technical assistance
to public or private entities carrying out programs to prevent and
eliminate discriminatory housing practices.
Section 561 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987,
42 U.S.C. 3616, established FHIP to strengthen the Department's
enforcement of the Fair Housing Act
[[Page 58828]]
and to further fair housing. This program assists projects and
activities designed to enhance compliance with the Fair Housing Act and
substantially equivalent State and local fair housing laws.
Implementing regulations are found at 24 CFR part 125.
The Department published its Fair Housing Initiatives Program
(FHIP) NOFA on July 23, 2009 announcing the availability of
approximately $26.3 million authorized by out of the Omnibus
Appropriations Act, 2009 (Pub. L. 111-8, approved March 11, 2009) to be
utilized for FHIP projects and activities. Funding availability for
discretionary grants included: the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI)
($21.1 million), the Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) ($3.1
million), and the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI) ($2.1
million).
This Notice announces grant awards of approximately $26.3 million,
and funding for Fair Housing Accessibility First (FIRST) training.
FIRST is a major training initiative to assist architects, builders,
disability advocates and others with understanding how to design and
construct multifamily housing that complies with the Act.
For the FY 2009 NOFA, the Department reviewed, evaluated and scored
the applications received based on the criteria in the FY2009 NOFA. As
a result, HUD has funded the applications announced in Appendix A, and
in accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C.
3545), the Department is hereby publishing details concerning the
recipients of funding awards in Appendix A of this document.
