Sec. 125.301  Education and Outreach Initiative.

    (a) The Education and Outreach Initiative provides funding for the

education and outreach programs designed to inform members of the public 
concerning their rights and obligations under the provisions of fair 
housing laws.
    (b) Notices of Funding Availability published for the FHIP may 
divide Education and Outreach Initiative funding into separate 
competitions for each of the separate types of programs (i.e., national, 
regional and/or local, community-based) eligible under this Initiative.
    (c) National program applications, including those for Fair Housing 
Month funding, may be eligible to receive, as provided for in Notices of 
Funding Availability published in the Federal Register, a preference 
consisting of additional points if they:
    (1) Demonstrate cooperation with real estate industry organizations; 
and/or
    (2) Provide for the dissemination of educational information and 
technical assistance to support compliance with the housing adaptability 
and accessibility guidelines contained in the Fair Housing Amendments 
Act of 1988.
    (d) Activities that are regional are activities that are implemented 
in adjoining States or two or more units of general local government 
within a state. Activities that are local are activities whose 
implementation is limited to a single unit of general local government, 
meaning a city, town, township, county, parish, village, or other 
general purpose political subdivision of a State. Activities that are 
community-based in scope are those which are primarily focused on a 
particular neighborhood area within a unit of general local government.
    (e) Each non-governmental recipient of regional, local, or 
community-based funding for activities located within the jurisdiction 
of a State or local enforcement agency or agencies administering a 
substantially equivalent (under part 115 of this subchapter) fair 
housing law must consult with the agency or agencies to coordinate 
activities funded under FHIP.
