Program--Fiscal Year 1993

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal

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.

    Dated: June 23, 1994.

Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
