This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2, under the CFDA 66.605 Performance Partnership Grants program, provides $981,531 in funding to the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027. The funding supports NJDOH's programs to protect public health by overseeing asbestos management activities in schools and enforcing lead-based paint accreditation and training programs. Specifically, NJDOH will conduct Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) compliance inspections and return non-compliant local education agencies to compliance. NJDOH will also administer and enforce the lead-based paint accreditation program, including training individuals engaged in lead-based paint abatement, accrediting training providers, and certifying contractors. This will result in reduced exposure to lead and asbestos, improved public health outcomes, and increased compliance with relevant regulations.
