Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6500 N 21 C
The Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) - Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) intended to support private, nonprofit fair housing enforcement efforts. The program focuses on strengthening the ability of eligible organizations to identify, investigate, and address housing discrimination, typically through activities such as testing, complaint intake, investigations, enforcement actions, and fair housing education and outreach tied to enforcement goals. The specific notice of funding opportunity is listed as FR 6500 N 21 C, and it is associated with CFDA number 14.418 under the broad funding activity category of housing.
For this funding round, HUD indicates that approximately $10,755,507 is available through the NOFO (including any applicable carryover funds) to support new FY 2021 grantees. HUD also notes that additional dollars could become available beyond that estimate due to carryover, recaptured funds, or additional appropriations, but any such increases are constrained by statute and by the funding restrictions described in the NOFO. At the same time, HUD emphasizes that it retains discretion, within statutory limits, to restrict the total amount awarded or the size and number of awards ultimately made under this announcement.
The overall FHIP PEI funding picture described alongside this NOFO includes a separate pool of $27,375,000 that HUD plans to use to fund continuing obligations for previously awarded multi-year grantees from FY 2019 and FY 2020 (second- and third-year funding for PEI Multi-year awards). Those continuing awards are handled outside of this NOFO, meaning applicants to this announcement are competing for the portion intended for new FY 2021 awards rather than the set-aside for prior multi-year commitments. HUD further clarifies that continuation funding for the later years of FY 2020 and FY 2021 multi-year awards depends on future Congressional appropriations, so multi-year funding beyond the initial year is not guaranteed.
Key administrative details include an expected 28 awards and an award ceiling of $375,000 per award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary. Eligibility is labeled as "Others," with applicants required to consult the NOFO's additional eligibility language for precise requirements and limitations. The opportunity was posted on April 28, 2021, with an original closing date of June 14, 2021, and the application deadline specified as 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time on the closing date.Apply for FR 6500 N 21 C
