The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) provides funding, to fair housing organizations and other non-profits that assist individuals who believe that they have been victims of housing discrimination. Currently FHIP provides funds to eligible organizations through competitive grants under three initiatives to carry out enforcement activities to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices and inform individuals of their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act. The Initiatives are: the Fair Housing Organization Initiative, Private Enforcement Initiative and the Education and Outreach Initiative. 1. Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI).This Initiative provides funding to private, non-profit fair housing enforcement organizations for the investigation and enforcement of alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act. 2. Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI). This Initiative provides funding to organizations that inform the general public about their rights and obligations under the Fair Housing Act. 3. Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI). This Initiative provides funding to establish new fair housing enforcement organizations and to support the continued existence of fair housing organizations in building their capacity to enforce the prohibitions on discrimination set forth in the Fair Housing Act. HUD will award grants/cooperative agreements under each of these program initiatives.
