archived

HUD is making available through this PEI NOFA $30,750,000 for Fair Housing Initiative Programs. While the total PEI Multi-Year (PEI-MY) Funding is $30,750,000, approximately $24,619,663 is set aside based upon appropriations for FY 2016 and FY 2017 current Multi-year grantees. The remaining funding of $6,130,337 will fund new FY 2018 grantees. Additional funds may become available for award under this NOFA under 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 contained in this NOFA. Funding for additional years beyond FY 2018 is subject to the availability of appropriations. FHIP funds are used to increase compliance with the Fair Housing Act. This year, funding is available under three Initiatives: Private Enforcement (PEI), Fair Housing Organization (FHOI) and Education and Outreach (EOI) Initiatives. However, for FY2018, 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 applying for funding under separate NOFAs and initiatives and/or components, the applicant must submit a separate application under the correct NOFA for each component the applicant applies. This NOFA will consider applicants applying under PEI only. The following is a general description of PEI (see chart in section III. A. for all eligibility requirements): Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI). This Initiative provides funding to private, non-profit fair housing enforcement organizations that meet statutory requirements to conduct investigation and enforcement of alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act. PEI applicants may be funded under the following Initiative based on eligibility: Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) - $30,750,000 - Multi-Year Funding Component (PEI-MY) Applicants may apply for funding under each FHIP NOFA and apply under multiple components as long as the applicant applies under the correct NOFA, and meets the specific eligibility requirements and funding restrictions.
