Congress appropriated funding for the History of Equal Rights Grant Program in FY2024 through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF). The HPF uses revenue from federal oil and gas leases on the Outer Continental Shelf, assisting with a broad range of preservation projects without expending tax dollars, with the intent to mitigate the loss of a nonrenewable resource to benefit the preservation of other irreplaceable resources.

Opened in 1904 as the Wilson Avenue Boys Club, the Eleanor B. Rainey Memorial Institute was a settlement house founded by Anna Edwards and funded by philanthropist Eleanor B. Rainey. The population that the Rainey Institute served changed from primarily Irish, eastern, and southern European immigrants to largely African American residents serving the Hough neighborhood. Cliquepoint Data Foundation a grassroots organization purchased the building in 2017 and aims to revitalize it as a co-working space and incubator.
