Four members of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) filed a lawsuit against the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) after HUD, with no warning, terminated Fair Housing Initiatives Program (FHIP) grants. More than $30 million in congressionally authorized funding to fair housing groups was suddenly withdrawn. Those funds are used to fight housing discrimination and enforce fair housing laws across the country.

That’s a lot of acronyms in one sentence. And even though we get that when fair housing groups lose $30 million in funding, a lot of people suffer as a result, sometimes we need to see that impact in more personal terms for it to truly sink in.

Zoe Ann Olson is the executive director at the Intermountain Fair Housing Council in Idaho. They’ve been around for 31 years. On February 27, she received three termination notices, advising her that she was losing grants that were essential to the Fair Housing Council’s work; they were canceled by DOGE. They each contained the same language: “HUD is terminating this award because it no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities.”



As you read about the work the Intermountain Fair Housing Council (IFHC) does in Idaho, work that Musk, Trump, and DOGE think is a waste of taxpayer dollars, you’re going to be outraged.

The IFHC is a nonprofit organization. Its mission is to ensure open and inclusive housing for anyone in Boise, Idaho, but they end up serving community members in all 44 of Idaho’s counties. The council’s goal is to put an end to housing discrimination, and they carry that out with very specific programs. Among them, informing people about fair housing laws and providing housing information and referrals, counseling, and assistance with mediating, eviction prevention, and filing fair housing complaints. They also provide education and outreach on fair housing laws and best practices to housing providers, community members, government officials, and others.

That means they try to prevent mass evictions. At the time they lost their grant funding, they were working on two events. One, in the Moscow-Lewiston area, involved five mobile home parks that had been taken over by an out-of-state landlord.
