The Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded $962,160 in funding to 19 HUD Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) agencies nationwide to support activities related to COVID-19. The awards are part of $1.5 million in Partnership and Special Enforcement Effort funds being provided to FHAP agencies through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act of 2020 (CARES Act).
 
Partnership funds allow FHAP agencies to utilize the services of individuals and/or public, private, for-profit, or not-for-profit organizations that have expertise in enforcing federal, state, and local fair housing laws. Similarly, Special Enforcement Effort funds enhance the fair housing enforcement activities of FHAP agencies.
