The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services will receive $224,782 from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Performance Partnership Grants program to support lead-based paint hazard reduction efforts from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023. The Cooperative Agreement funding will support statewide programs to address lead-based paint hazards through activities such as developing implementation plans to ensure underserved communities have equitable access to lead hazard reduction benefits. The Department will enhance partnerships with local governments and stakeholders representing at-risk communities, and increase outreach and engagement to provide lead safety education. It will also continue implementing standards for inspecting and abating lead hazards, as well as training and certification programs for individuals conducting this work. The anticipated outcomes include reducing children's exposure to lead and improving health outcomes, more effective stakeholder communication, and supporting research to inform lead exposure reduction efforts. No subawards are included under this assistance agreement.
