SPOKANE, WA – Northwest Fair Housing Alliance (NWFHA) has been awarded two $500,000 18-month grants under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP): an Education and Outreach Initiative (EOI) National Programs Sex Discrimination grant, and a Fair Housing Organization Initiative (FHOI) Lending grant.

Only one EOI National Programs Component Sex Discrimination grant was awarded in the nation. NWFHA will subcontract with 3 gender justice partners on this project, the YWCA of Spokane, Gender Justice League of WA, and Legal Voice based in Seattle, to develop a national campaign to inform the general public, housing providers, and concerned persons about sex discrimination in housing based on domestic violence, sexual harassment, gender stereotyping and gender identity prohibited by the Fair Housing Act. NWFHA will also subcontract with North By Northwest, a WA and ID based digital media studio, to develop a variety of localizable campaign materials in multiple mediums and languages. “We are grateful and excited to work with these regional non-profit organizations to produce innovative public education materials on such an important subject,” said Marley Hochendoner, Executive Director of NWFHA. “We believe that by working collaboratively we can create better public awareness products representative of populations who most often experience sex discrimination.”
The FHOI-Lending grant will enable NWFHA to continue conducting fair lending testing, education, outreach, and advocacy in E. and Central WA, and extend or increase these activities into AK, ID, and Western WA by helping to build the capacity of and cross-training with regional fair housing agencies in those states.
