    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.
        In the FY 1995 FHIP Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) published 
    in the Federal Register on April 11, 1995 (60 FR 18444), the Department 
    announced the availability of up to $14,580,530 for funding of FY 1995 
    awards. This Notice announces the award of these FY 1995 funds to 
    fifty-nine recipients who had applied under the FY 1995 NOFA.
        The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications 
    received based on the criteria in the FY 1995 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 (Pub. L. 101-235, approved 
    December 15, 1989), the Department is publishing details concerning the 
    recipients of funding awards in Appendix A of this document.
    
        Dated: January 29, 1996.
