Announcement of Funding Awards for Fair Housing Initiatives
Program--Fiscal Year 1993
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity, HUD.
ACTION: Announcement of Funding Awards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document
notifies the public of FY 1993 funding awards made under the Fair
Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP). The purpose of this document is to
announce the names and addresses of the award winners and the amount of
the awards to be used to strengthen the Department's enforcement of the
Fair Housing Act and to further fair housing.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacquelyn J. Shelton, Director, Office
of Fair Housing Assistance and Voluntary Programs, Room 5234, 451
Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410-2000. Telephone number
(202) 708-0800. A telecommunications device (TDD) for hearing and
speech impaired persons is available at (202) 708-3216. (These are not
toll-free numbers.)
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 3601-19 (The Fair Housing Act), charges the
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development with responsibility to
accept and investigate complaints alleging discrimination based on
race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national
origin in the sale, rental, or financing of most housing. In addition,
the Fair Housing Act directs the Secretary to coordinate with State and
local agencies administering fair housing laws and to cooperate with
and render technical assistance to public or private entities carrying
out programs to prevent and eliminate discriminatory housing practices.
Section 561 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987,
42 U.S.C. 3616 note, established the FHIP to strengthen the
Department's enforcement of the Fair Housing Act and to further fair
housing. This program assists projects and activities designed to
enhance compliance with the Fair Housing Act and substantially
equivalent State and local fair housing laws. Implementing regulations
are found at 24 CFR Part 125.
The FHIP has three funding categories: the Administrative
Enforcement Initiative, the Education and Outreach Initiative, and the
Private Enforcement Initiative.
In a NOFA published in the Federal Register on December 22, 1993
(58 FR 68000), the Department announced the availability of $8.8
million in funds for FHIP. On February 25, 1994 (59 FR 9235), HUD
published a notice NOFA that made an additional $800,000 available, for
a total of $9.6 million in FY 1993 funding.
The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications
received based on the criteria in the NOFA. As a result, HUD has funded
the applications announced below, and in accordance with section
102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform
Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-235, approved December 15, 1989), the
Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of funding
awards, as follows below.
