Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI): This Initiative provides assistance to a project (sponsoring organization) that will establish or build the capacity of a start up fair housing organization to become a viable fair housing enforcement organization that will conduct fair housing activities in underserved areas (as defined in Section I. B.1. Program Definitions below) rural areas and/or areas with new immigrants (especially racial and ethnic minorities who are not English-speaking or have limited English proficiency.) This is accomplished with the assistance of a sponsoring organization. The sponsoring organization must submit the application and must certify that the sponsored organization has the ability to become a QFHO or FHO. The period of performance for the award of funds to assist in capacity building activities is renewable for a period of up to three years, based upon successful performance of the sponsored organization. Funds are distributed to the sponsored organization by the sponsoring organization. All fund distributions are based on the performance of both the sponsoring and the sponsored organization.
