The City of Selma, Alabama received a $2,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (CFDA 14.900 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program) on January 24, 2025. The grant funding will be used to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under the age of six reside, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 housing. Key activities include conducting lead inspections, risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement to protect families and children from lead poisoning. The grant also supports capacity building for trained and certified individuals and firms to address lead hazards safely and effectively, as well as targeted outreach and education programs on lead hazard control and lead poisoning prevention.
