U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-5) today announced a $279,467 Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fair Housing Initiative Program (FHIP) grant for Greater Napa Valley Fair Housing Center (GNVFHC). This grant will fund the agency's fair housing enforcement, education and outreach work. This includes the implementation of fair housing investigations, trainings and presentations, and related activities that promote GNVFHC's mission to eliminate housing discrimination and ensure equal housing opportunity for all people.

"A person's race or ethnicity has absolutely no place in determining whether or not they can rent or buy at home," said Thompson. "If people are discriminated against when trying to find a place to live, quality assistance like that offered by GNVFHC should be available. I am proud to support this grant and the work of GNVFHC."
