Education and Outreach The Fair Housing program also aims to educate city residents—particularly underserved populations such as the immigrant communities, people with disabilities, and the elderly—about their fair housing rights in rental, sales, financing or home insurance transactions. To this end, DHCD applied for and was awarded a competitive Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) education and outreach grant in fiscal year 2001. The Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) grant award provides funding for education and outreach activities in the Hispanic and Vietnamese communities. This grant enabled the production of DHCD's first fair housing brochure series, "Your Fair Housing Rights."
