The contract under the Projects of National Significance initiative, titled PNS: Protecting Rights and Preventing Abuse, is funded through the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act and aims to safeguard the rights of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities while preventing abuse. The project seeks to empower these individuals to fully engage in community life by fostering self-determination, independence, productivity, and inclusion. It will support the creation and advancement of national and state policies that are informed and driven by the voices of individuals with disabilities, their families, guardians, advocates, and communities. The overarching goal is to ensure that systems and policies reflect the needs and aspirations of people with developmental disabilities, enabling them to lead self-directed lives with meaningful support. The project is structured around four key outcome measures, each supported by specific output metrics to track progress. It will measure policy changes enacted to improve experiences for individuals and families, tracking advocacy participation, training delivery, and policy product development and distribution. It will assess the growth in leadership roles among individuals with disabilities and their families by evaluating tools created, shared, and learned, as well as the number of individuals mentoring others. The initiative will also evaluate increased knowledge of supports needed to achieve desired life outcomes through training and resource creation and dissemination. Additionally, it will expand access to data resources by creating and promoting new tools and activities that enhance understanding and use of relevant data. The project is managed by the Administration for Community Living under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with Larissa Crossen as the point of contact for inquiries.

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.
