WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded more than $21 million to nonprofit agencies in 37 states and the District of Columbia to help people who believe they have been the victims of housing discrimination.
|"These Fair Housing Initiatives Program grants will help us continue our efforts to educate the public, the housing industry, real estate professionals and financial institutions about their rights and responsibilities under the Fair Housing Act," HUD's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Kim Kendrick, said in a written statement.
|Twenty-million dollars in grant money was awarded for private enforcement which allows groups to investigate alleged housing discrimination under federal, state and local laws. The remainder was awarded for education and outreach, including a $500,000 grant to Howard University's LawSchool to organize and operate a legal clinic focusing on fair housing.
