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

Education and Outreach Initiative and

the Private Enforcement Initiative.

The Department announced in the

Federal Register on May 24, 1996 (61

Notice announces awards to nine

organizations that submitted

applications under the FY 1995 FHIP

NOFA published in the Federal Register

on April 11, 1995 (60 FR 18444). These

them the next eligible applicants for

funding but they did not receive FY

1995 funding.

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,
