SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 3601-19 (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 four funding categories: the Administrative
Enforcement Initiative, the Education and Outreach Initiative, the
Private Enforcement Initiative, and the Fair Housing Organizations
Initiative. This notice announces awards made under the Fair Housing
Organizations Initiative, Education and Outreach Initiative, and the
Private Enforcement Initiative.
The Department announced on May 24, 1996 (61 FR 26362) the
availability of $12,106,000 to be utilized for the Fair Housing
Initiatives Program. This Notice announces awards to forty-one
organizations that submitted applications under the FY 1996 FHIP NOFA.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance numbers for the Fair
Housing Initiative Program are 14.409, 14.410 and 14.413.
The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications
received based on the criteria in the FY 1996 FHIP NOFA. As a result,
HUD has funded the applications announced in Appendix A, and in
accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545),
the Department is hereby publishing details concerning the recipients
of funding awards in Appendix A of this document.
