SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 3601-19 (the Fair Housing Act) provides 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 2 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, established 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. For FY 2013, the Department published two Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) NOFAs. On March 13, 2013, the Department published its first FY 2013 NOFA, which included a June 4, 2013 technical correction. The technical correction announced the availability of approximately $37,276,995 out of the Department’s FY 2013 appropriation, to be utilized for FHIP projects and activities. In addition, on March 20, 2013 the Department published a second FHIP NOFA, the Continuing Development Component (CDC) NOFA announcing the availability of approximately $1,200,000 in funding for CDC FHIP projects and activities. Funding availability for discretionary grants for the FHIP NOFA and CDC NOFA included: the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) ($24,765,000), the Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) ($3,771,575), and the Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI) ($9,940,420). The total available FHOI funding amount also includes the available CDC NOFA funding. This Notice thereby announces grant awards for the FY 2013 FHIP and CDC NOFAs of approximately $38,476,995. 3 For the FY 2013, the Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications received based on the criteria in the FY 2013 NOFAs. 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 (103 Stat. 1987, 42 U.S.C. 3545).
