Fair Housing Initiatives Program

The Fair Housing Initiatives Program assists people who believe they have been victims of housing discrimination. It is a competitive grant program that supports capacity building of non-profit fair housing organizations, testing and enforcement activities, and education and outreach.

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • Outputs and outcome performance measurements are weak or lacking. As a result, is difficult for the program to demonstrate direct grantee contributions to the annual performance goals and measures of the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity.
  • HUD staff who review grantee work products and perform annual grantee performance assessments, provide inconsistent guidance to Fair Housing Initiative Program agencies. For example, reporting requirements are at times interpreted and enforced differently.
  • The program lacks standardized reporting for Fair Housing Initiative Program grant activities. Currently, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity is designing a database that will become operative in 2006 for all grantees receiving grants.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Developing annual measures to assess the Fair Housing Initiative Program performance. Develop and track output, outcome, and efficiency measurements.
  • Re-training of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity staff to provide clear and consistent guidance to FHIP grantees. Utilize the resources of the National Fair Housing Training Academy.
  • Designing and implementing a database to provide Fair Housing Initiative Program grantees standardized reporting of grant activities.
