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 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 in the Federal Register on June 26, 1997
