HUD is making available through this NOFA $ 7,450,000 for Fair Housing Initiatives Program Education and Outreach Initiative. Additional funds may become available for award under this NOFA as a result of HUD's efforts to recapture unused funds, use carryover funds, or because of the availability of additional appropriated funds. Use of these funds will be subject to statutory constraints. All awards are subject to the applicable funding restrictions described in this NOFA. FHIP funds are used to increase compliance with the Fair Housing Act. Funding is available under three Initiatives: Private Enforcement (PEI), Fair Housing Organization (FHOI) and Education and Outreach (EOI) Initiatives. Multi-year awards beyond FY2019 funding are subject to appropriations and the availability of funds. For FY2019, funding for each initiative is listed under a separate NOFA. Applicants must apply under the correct NOFA to be considered for funding. Additionally, if an applicant is eligible and applies for funding under separate initiatives and/or components, the applicant must submit a separate application under the correct NOFA for each component the applicant applies.
