The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,500,000 Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Project Grant to the City of Fontana, California on January 24, 2025. Through this federal grant program (CFDA 14.900), the City will undertake a comprehensive program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under age 6 reside. Key activities include targeted lead inspections, risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and lead-based paint abatement to protect low-income families from lead poisoning risks. The grant will also build local capacity for lead-safe work practices and develop community-based approaches to integrating this initiative with other local housing and health initiatives.
