Purpose

The Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program and Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Programs assist states, Native American Tribes, cities, counties/parishes, or other units of local government in undertaking comprehensive programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned rental or owner-occupied housing.

Type of Assistance

Funds made available under this program are awarded competitively on an annual basis through a selection process conducted by HUD.

Available Funds

Approximately $69 million is available for the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program and $48 million is available for the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program.

Eligible Applicants

To be eligible to apply for funding under the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control (LBPHC) Grant Program or the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration (LHRD) Grant Program, you, the applicant, must be a Native American Tribe, state, city, county/parish, or other unit of local government. Multiple units of a local government (or multiple local governments) may apply as a consortium; however, a primary (lead) applicant must be identified that will be responsible for ensuring compliance with all requirements specified in this NOFA. State government and Native American tribal applicants must have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorized lead-based paint training and certification program.
