Study of the Fair Housing Initiatives Program

This evaluation of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) is the first major study of the program in 15 years. The study confirms that FHIP funding is a critical component of the U.S. civil rights enforcement infrastructure. Fair housing organizations in communities across the country depend on FHIP funding to support their investigations and enforcement of laws that protect people from housing discrimination and that provide fair housing education and outreach activities.
