Fair Housing Initiatives Programs (FHIP) - Fair Housing Organizations Initiative (FHOI): Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI): This Initiative provides funding to QFHOs, FHOs, and nonprofit groups organizing to build their capacity, establish new fair housing enforcement organizations and/or provide fair lending enforcement in underserved areas. There are three components under this Initiative, the Establishing New Organizations Component, the Continued Development General Component and the Continued Development Mortgage Rescue Scams Component.

(2) Continued Development Mortgage Rescue Scams Component (ECD-MS) - This component will assist groups organizing or building their capacity to provide fair housing enforcement for the purpose of supporting the continued development or implementation of initiatives which enforce the rights granted under Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 as amended , by providing assistance to victims of fraud and lending abuse (for example, through counseling, loan workouts, etc.) to build their capacity to provide fair lending assistance and other fair housing enforcement. (3) Continued Development General Component - This component will assist QFHOs, FHOs, other private nonprofit fair housing enforcement organizations and nonprofit groups in building their fair housing capacity.
