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.
