Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 21C
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) notice of funding opportunity is a discretionary grant competition run by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to strengthen compliance with the Fair Housing Act through private, nonprofit enforcement work. The central idea is to support qualified fair housing enforcement organizations that can investigate alleged housing discrimination, pursue enforcement actions, and otherwise help ensure fair housing rights are protected in practice, not just on paper. While FHIP includes multiple initiatives overall, this particular NOFA is only for the Private Enforcement Initiative, meaning applicants interested in other FHIP tracks must look to and apply under the separate NOFAs for those initiatives.
For FY2020, HUD is making up to $10.1 million available for new awards under this PEI NOFA (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6400 N 21C; CFDA 14.418). HUD also notes that additional money could become available later if the agency recaptures unused funds, uses carryover funds, or receives additional appropriations, although any added funding would still have to follow the legal limits and program restrictions described in the NOFA. Separately, HUD indicates that a much larger portion of FY2020 PEI funding ($25.35 million) is reserved outside of this competition to continue funding previously selected multi-year PEI grantees from FY2018 and FY2019 for their second and third years, and that those continuation years depend on future congressional appropriations.
The PEI program itself is aimed specifically at private, nonprofit fair housing enforcement organizations that meet statutory requirements. These organizations are expected to carry out core enforcement functions such as testing and investigations of alleged discriminatory conduct, development of complaints, support for administrative or legal enforcement, and related fair housing enforcement activities. The NOFA emphasizes that eligibility and allowable activities are governed by the detailed requirements in the solicitation (it references Section III.A for eligibility), and that all awards are subject to the funding restrictions laid out in the NOFA.
This opportunity sits within a broader FY2020 FHIP structure where funding is offered under three initiatives: Private Enforcement (PEI), Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI), and Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI). A key administrative point is that applicants must apply under the correct NOFA for the initiative they want, and if an organization is seeking support under more than one initiative or component, it has to submit separate applications under each relevant NOFA and component. In this PEI NOFA, HUD is only considering PEI applications.
In terms of award structure, the opportunity is a grant, with an anticipated maximum award (award ceiling) of $360,000, and HUD expected to make about 28 awards. The NOFA also references multi-year funding through a PEI Multi-Year Funding Component (often labeled PEI-MYFC), which is part of the broader PEI funding framework and is tied to eligibility and program rules described in the solicitation. The application deadline listed for this competition was May 11, 2020 at 11:59:59 pm Eastern Time, and the opportunity was created on April 8, 2020. Eligible applicants are described generally as "Others" with clarification provided in the NOFA text, but the narrative makes clear the intended applicant pool is private, nonprofit fair housing enforcement organizations that satisfy the statutory and program requirements.
Overall, this grant competition is designed to put federal resources behind on-the-ground fair housing enforcement by nonprofit organizations, with FY2020 new-award funding set at up to $10.1 million under this NOFA, additional PEI dollars reserved for continuation of prior multi-year awards, and award amounts capped at $360,000 per grant with roughly a few dozen awards anticipated.Apply for FR 6400 N 21C
