The project operates over a 24-month performance period from September 30, 2026, to September 30, 2028, with a total estimated funding of $349,005, allocated across direct and indirect costs through a grant structure rather than a traditional contract, with no CLINs or formal line-item pricing.

Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Education and Outreach Initiative

Solicitation # OFH-2600-DC-021A

The Fair Housing Initiatives Program – Education and Outreach Initiative, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, aims to prevent and eliminate discriminatory housing practices by funding eligible organizations to conduct public education and outreach efforts. The initiative operates through two main components: the National Media Campaign, which focuses on centralized, nationwide media products and includes targeted efforts to boost participation in Annual Fair Housing Month, and the General Component, which supports localized, community-based programs across the country. Both components require strict oversight by HUD, which retains approval authority over all deliverables, work plans, and statements of work, and actively participates in their development and implementation. Funding is distributed through competitive grants and cooperative agreements, with the majority awarded as grants to regional and local entities. National-level efforts, however, are administered under cooperative agreements managed by HUD Headquarters due to their broader impact and the need for heightened federal oversight and departmental review. HUD conducts regular monitoring, requests quarterly progress reports, and maintains control over the content and delivery of all educational materials. The program is forecasted to be available for applications starting June 18, 2026, with inquiries directed to Katherine Vasilopoulos at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This funding opportunity, issued as a Notice of Funding Opportunity, seeks organizations to design and implement projects that leverage early warning and early response systems to address root causes of conflict and build community resilience. Applications must align with strict formatting guidelines, including a 15-page narrative in 12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and single-spaced text, with additional components including a one-page executive summary, a one-page timeline, a two-page key personnel section, and a detailed Monitoring and Evaluation Plan with narrative and tracker. All submissions must be submitted via Grants.gov or MyGrants by the deadline of August 17, 2026, and applicants must have an active Unique Entity Identifier from SAM.gov, along with appropriate registrations for the chosen submission portal. Proposals are evaluated based on technical merit, including the clarity of problem analysis, feasibility of project activities, alignment with SMART objectives, strength of the logic model, and quality of the risk assessment categorized as high, medium, or low. Cost-effectiveness and budget justification using OMB cost categories are critical, with applications demonstrating cost-share commitments—either cash or in-kind contributions from non-U.S. sources—being more competitive. The budget must include detailed line-item data in Excel and a clear narrative, adhering to 2 CFR Part 200 requirements for personnel, travel, equipment over $10,000, and subrecipient oversight.

Applicants without a negotiated indirect cost rate may elect a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total direct costs. While no contract value is specified, awards will be made through federal assistance mechanisms, and no procurement-style contract line items or delivery terms apply. The place of performance will be determined by the applicant’s proposed project area within Sudan, and performance is subject to federal grant compliance standards rather than contract-specific inspection or acceptance protocols.
