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.

Initiatives Program funding for the Private Enforcement Initiative
Special Project was published on August 9, 1994 (59 FR 40756).
