The Fair Housing Organizations Initiative of the FHIP provides funding to develop or expand the ability of existing eligible organizations to provide fair housing enforcement, and to establish, on a single-year or multi-year basis contingent upon annual performance reviews and annual appropriations, new fair housing enforcement organizations.
Continued development of existing organizations—(1) Eligible applicants. Eligible for funding under this component of the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative are:
Qualified fair housing enforcement organizations;
Fair housing enforcement organizations; and
Nonprofit groups organizing to build their capacity to provide fair housing enforcement.
Operating budget limitation. (i) Funding under this component of the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative may not be used to provide more than 50 percent of the operating budget of a recipient organization for any one year.
For purposes of the limitation in this paragraph, operating budget means the applicant's total planned budget expenditures from all sources, including the value of in-kind and monetary contributions, in the year for which funding is sought.
Establishing new organizations—(1) Eligible applicants. Eligible for funding under this component of the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative are:
Qualified fair housing enforcement organizations;
Fair housing enforcement organizations; and
Organizations with at least three years of experience in complaint intake, complaint investigation, and enforcement of meritorious claims involving the use of testing evidence.
Targeted areas. FHIP Notices of Funding Availability may identify target areas of the country that may receive priority for funding under this component of the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative. An applicant may also seek funding to establish a new organization in a locality not identified as a target area, but in such a case, the applicant must submit sufficient evidence to establish the proposed area as being currently underserved by fair housing enforcement organizations or as containing large concentrations of protected classes.
