Fair Housing Initiatives Program

The Fair Housing Initiatives (FHIP) Program is managed by the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The program provides funding to fair housing organizations and other non-profits who assist people who believe they have been victims of housing discrimination. The FHIP program is the only Federal grant program whose purpose is to support private partnerships in preventing and overcoming housing discrimination.
History of the Program.
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program began with the passage of Section 561 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 (42 U.S.C. 3616; P.L. 100-242), as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.
