Notice of Technical Correction to the Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) for the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development's (HUD) Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Fair Housing Initiatives 
Program (FHIP) Enforcement Testing Technical Assistance (TA) Program

AGENCY: Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice of Technical Correction to the Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) for HUD's Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Fair Housing 
Initiatives Program (FHIP) Enforcement Testing Technical Assistance 
(TA) Program.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On April 14, 2011, HUD posted the Notice of Funding 
Availability (NOFA) for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Fair Housing 
Initiatives Program (FHIP) Enforcement Testing Technical Assistance 
(TA) Program to Grants.gov. The NOFA announced the availability of 
information on applicant eligibility, submission deadlines, funding 
criteria, and other program and application requirements.
    The purpose of the program is to provide technical assistance to 
one or more entities to develop a course on Fair Housing Testing, and 
to conduct technical assistance to promote a greater and more 
consistent use of Testing Methodologies among FHIP organizations. 
Testing represents the most effective investigative tool in uncovering 
and corroborating claims of unlawful discrimination. Improving the 
quality and consistency of testing used by FHIP organizations will 
increase the persuasiveness and acceptance of tests in litigation. This 
is designed to provide FHIP organizations with the necessary tools to 
conduct, understand, and analyze testing with the stated goal of 
contributing to the Department's enforcement efforts.
    The notice providing information regarding the application process, 
funding criteria and eligibility requirements, application and 
instructions can be found using the Department of Housing and Urban
