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.

The Department published its Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) NOFA on July 25, 2011 announcing the availability of approximately $40,670,850 out of the Department's FY 2011 appropriation, to be utilized for FHIP projects and activities.

This Notice announces grant awards of approximately $40,670,850.

For the FY 2011 NOFA, the Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications received based on the criteria in the FY 2011 NOFA.
