Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6200 N 21A
The Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) intended to boost compliance with the Fair Housing Act by helping organizations educate the public about fair housing rights and responsibilities. Through this Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), HUD offered a total of $7,450,000 for FY2018 to support education and outreach work that increases awareness of unlawful housing discrimination, clarifies obligations for housing providers and related actors, and encourages people to recognize and act on fair housing protections. HUD also noted that additional money could become available later if funds are recaptured, carried over, or newly appropriated, though any added funding would still be bound by statutory limits and the NOFA's restrictions.
This NOFA is specifically limited to the Education and Outreach Initiative, one of three FHIP initiatives available that year. The other two initiatives mentioned are Private Enforcement (PEI) and Fair Housing Organization (FHOI), but they were each covered under separate NOFAs. That separation matters because applicants had to apply under the correct NOFA for the initiative and component they wanted to pursue. If an organization wanted to compete in more than one initiative or in multiple components, it needed to submit separate applications aligned to each appropriate NOFA and meet all component-specific eligibility rules and funding limitations. HUD also emphasized that any multi-year awards beyond FY2018 were dependent on future appropriations and the availability of funds, meaning continued funding was not guaranteed even if a project was designed for multiple years.
Funding under the EOI NOFA was organized into three component tracks reflecting different scopes of outreach. First, HUD set aside $1,000,000 for National-Based Programs through the National Media Campaign Component (EOI-NMCC), supporting work designed to reach broad audiences at a national scale, typically through mass communications and coordinated media strategies. Second, the largest share, $6,200,000, was dedicated to Regional/Local/Community Based Programs under the General Component (EOI-G), supporting outreach efforts tailored to local or regional conditions, communities, and audiences, where education can be targeted to the populations and housing issues most relevant in a given area. Third, HUD reserved $250,000 for a Regional/Local/Community Based Tester Training Component (EOI-TTC), which focuses on training related to fair housing testing, a key compliance tool used to identify discriminatory practices by comparing how similarly situated people are treated in housing-related transactions.
Key administrative details frame the scale and timing of the competition. The opportunity number is FR 6200 N 21A and it is listed under CFDA 14.416 (Housing). The agency is HUD, and the award instrument is a grant. The NOFA was created on Oct 29, 2018, with an original application deadline of Dec 19, 2018, and electronic submissions were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. HUD anticipated making about 56 awards under this NOFA, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000, which aligns with the highest-dollar component listed (the national media campaign set-aside). Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with further clarification in the NOFA's eligibility section, and applicants were expected to follow the specific eligibility chart and comply with funding restrictions referenced in the NOFA (including the restrictions described in the section identified as IV.F.5).
In practical terms, this grant competition was designed for organizations capable of delivering fair housing education at scale, whether nationally through coordinated media campaigns or locally through community-grounded outreach and training. The central goal is not direct enforcement activity, but public-facing education that strengthens awareness and compliance with the Fair Housing Act, helping individuals understand their rights, helping housing providers understand their responsibilities, and supporting fair housing outcomes through informed communities and properly trained practitioners.Apply for FR 6200 N 21A
