Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6100 N 21 A
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced this discretionary grant opportunity under the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP), specifically the Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI). The purpose is to fund organizations that educate the public about their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act, with the broader goal of improving compliance and reducing housing discrimination through information, outreach, and public awareness efforts. This notice of funding availability (NOFA) is limited to EOI applicants only; HUD also offered FHIP funding that year under separate NOFAs for the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI) and the Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI), but those are not covered by this particular announcement.
HUD made $7,450,000 available through this EOI NOFA (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6100 N 21 A; CFDA 14.416). The agency noted that additional money could potentially be added later if HUD recaptures unused funds, uses carryover funds, or receives additional appropriations, though any added funding would still be constrained by statute and by the restrictions in both the NOFA and HUDs general funding rules. The program anticipates making around 53 awards, and the listed award ceiling is $1,000,000. While the EOI funding is tied to FY2017, HUD also emphasizes that any multi-year funding beyond FY2017 depends on future appropriations and availability of funds.
EOI funding is divided into two main components. First is a National-Based Programs track called the National Media Campaign Component (EOI-NMCC), with $1,000,000 reserved to support large-scale, national outreach efforts, typically involving broad media strategies designed to reach a wide audience. Second is the Regional/Local/Community Based Program track, called the General Component (EOI-G), funded at $6,450,000, which supports education and outreach activities delivered at the regional, local, or community level. In practical terms, this second component is meant to help organizations meet people where they are by tailoring fair housing education to local conditions, populations, and housing markets.
Applicants are allowed to apply to more than one EOI component as long as they meet the eligibility requirements for each component (HUD points applicants to an eligibility chart in Section III.A.1 of the NOFA for the specific criteria). HUD also makes clear that organizations can pursue funding across different FHIP initiatives (EOI, PEI, FHOI) if eligible, but they must submit a separate application under the correct NOFA for each initiative and for each component they seek, and they must follow the funding limitations and restrictions described in the NOFA (including the restrictions referenced in Section IV.F.5) as well as the broader HUD General Section requirements.
Key administrative details include that the funding instrument is a grant, the activity category is housing, and eligible applicants are described as "Others" with further clarification provided in the NOFA text (meaning eligibility is not limited to a single standard category and must be confirmed against HUDs detailed requirements). The NOFA was created on August 1, 2017, and the original application deadline was September 18, 2017, with electronic applications due no later than 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.Apply for FR 6100 N 21 A
