The Kenaitze Indian Tribe was awarded a $1,000,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (CFDA 14.900). The purpose of the grant is to protect children under the age of six from lead poisoning by assisting the Tribe in identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing in their service area. Key activities to be performed under the grant include conducting targeted lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls and abatement, building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and implementing affirmative marketing efforts to ensure lead-safe units are prioritized for families with young children. The grant will allow the Tribe to identify and remediate lead hazards in over 3,700 low-income homes where children under six reside, for which other resources are not available.
