stop discrimination (Jeff Sorg, OnlineEd) – Funded through HUD’s Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP), the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded $38.3 million to over 100 fair housing organizations and other non-profit agencies to address housing discrimination.

“Ending housing discrimination is at the core of HUD’s mission and it takes dedicated people on the ground to address it,” said HUD Secretary Julián Castro. “These funds support community-based organizations that do great work every day on the front lines in the fight for fairness and equality in our nation’s housing market.”

HUD’s Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Gustavo Velasquez added, “The Fair Housing Initiatives Program provides the only federal grant support to private fair housing enforcement and education. Dispersed throughout the country, these grants enable our partner agencies to stand beside us in the fight against housing discrimination, and we couldn’t do it without them.”
