SUMMARY: In accordance with section 102(a)(4)(C) of the Department of

Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989, this document

notifies the public of FY 1994 funding awards made under the Fair

Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP). The purpose of this document is to

announce the names and addresses of the award winners and the amount of

the awards to be used to strengthen the Department's enforcement of the

Fair Housing Act and to further fair housing.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacquelyn J. Shelton, Director, Office

of Fair Housing Initiatives and Voluntary Programs, Room 5234, 451

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20410-2000. Telephone number

(202) 708-0800. A telecommunications device (TDD) for hearing and

speech impaired persons is available at (202) 708-3216. (These are not

toll-free numbers.)

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.

In the FY 1994 FHIP NOFA published on May 16, 1994 (59 FR 25532),

the Department announced the availability of up to $18,481,000 in funds

for FHIP. This amount was adjusted to $17,481,000 by a notice published

on August 9, 1994 (59 FR 40599), which replaced $1 million of FY 1993

Education and Outreach Initiative funds made available under the FY

1993 FHIP Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Reinvention Lab Project

NOFA published on June 16, 1994 (59 FR 31072) with $1 million in FY

1994 Education and Outreach Initiative funds.

The Department reviewed, evaluated and scored the applications

received based on the criteria in the FY 1994 FHIP NOFA. As a result,

HUD has funded the applications announced below, 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, approved December 15, 1989), the

Department is publishing details concerning the recipients of funding

awards, as follows below.
