    CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, 

               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 

PART 115_CERTIFICATION AND FUNDING OF STATE AND LOCAL FAIR HOUSING 

ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES--Table of Contents

 

            Subpart C_Fair Housing Assistance Program (FHAP)

 

Sec.  115.302  Capacity building funds.



    (a) Capacity building (CB) funds are funds that HUD may provide to 

an agency with interim certification during the agency's first three 

years of participation in the FHAP. Agencies receiving CB funds are not 

eligible to receive contributions funds under Sec.  115.304.

    (b) CB funds will be provided in a fixed annual amount to be 

utilized for the eligible activities established pursuant to Sec.  

115.303. However, in the second and third year of the agency's 

participation in the FHAP, HUD has the option to permit the agency to 

receive CB funding on a per case basis, rather than in a single annual 

amount.

    (c) In order to receive CB funding, agencies will be required to 

submit a statement of work which identifies:

    (1) The objectives and activities to be carried out with the CB 

funds received;

    (2) A plan for training all of the agency's employees involved in 

the administration of the agency's fair housing law or ordinance;

    (3) A statement of the agency's intention to participate in HUD-

sponsored training in accordance with the training requirements set out 

in the cooperative agreement;

    (4) A description of the agency's complaint processing data and 

information system or, alternatively, whether the agency plans to use CB 

funds to purchase and install a data system; and

    (5) A description of any other fair housing activities that the 

agency will undertake with its CB funds. All such activities must 

address matters affecting fair housing enforcement which are cognizable 

under the Fair Housing Act. Any activities which do not address the 

implementation of the agency's fair housing law or ordinance, and which 

are therefore not cognizable under the Fair Housing Act, will be 

disapproved.
