local laws that provide rights and remedies for discriminatory housing 

practices that are substantially equivalent to the rights and remedies 

provided in the Fair Housing Act. Multi-year funding may be contingent 

upon annual performance reviews and annual appropriations.

    (2) Fair housing enforcement organizations with at least 1 year of 

experience in complaint intake, complaint investigation, testing for 

fair housing violations and enforcement of meritorious claims. For the 

purpose of meeting this 1 year qualification period, it is not necessary 

that the activities were conducted simultaneously, as long as each 

activity was conducted for 1 year. It is also not necessary for the 

activities to have been conducted for a continuous year. An organization 

may aggregate its experience in each activity over the 2-year period 

preceding its application to meet this 1 year qualification period 

requirement.
