Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI): Congress amended the Fair Housing Act in 1988 to establish the Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) with a purpose of providing funding to entities to work alongside HUD to "prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices" 42 USC § 3616a(a). FHIP provides funds to eligible organizations through competitive grants under three initiatives: the Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI), the Private Enforcement Initiative (PEI), and the Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI).The purpose of the Private Enforcement Initiative is to provide multi-year grants to a nation-wide network of eligible fair housing enforcement organizations to conduct testing, investigate violations, and enforce the Fair Housing Act and equivalent State and local laws that provide rights and remedies for alleged discriminatory housing practices.

- Additional Information on Eligibility
- Eligible Entities. You must be either:Qualified Fair Housing Enforcement Organization (QFHO) with at least two years of experience in complaint intake, complaint investigation, testing for fair housing violations, and enforcement related experience of meritorious claims in the three years prior to filing this application; or Fair Housing Enforcement Organization (FHO) with at least one year of experience in the enforcement-related activities listed above during the two years prior to the filing of the application.A parent organization that is a QFHO or an FHO with a separate Employer Identification Number does not mean that an affiliate organization automatically gets QFHO or FHO status. Instead, we will determine if the affiliate organization has the requisite experience, independent of the parent organization.You must complete Appendix B, Certification for PEI Applicants, to certify QFHO or FHO status.If your organization does not currently qualify as a QFHO or FHO (see 24 CFR §§ 125.103 and 125.401), you may be eligible to apply under the FHIP Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI)(FR-6900-N-21-A), Tester Coordinator Training (FR-6900-N-1-A), and/or Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI) (FR-6900-N-21-B) NOFOs. Please see each NOFO for specific eligibility requirements. If an applicant applies for both a PEI and FHOI Continuing Development Component grant and receives an award for both, HUD will rescind funding for the FHOI-CDC will if the activities for both awards are exactly alike or substantially similar. Co-applicants or members of a consortium are not eligible applicants under this NOFO. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
