Lead hazard reduction demonstration grant program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded the City of Long Beach, doing business as Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services, $6,055,518 under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) on March 15, 2026.

The City of Long Beach will identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing units in Long Beach, California, targeting housing units built before 1960 (especially pre-1940 construction) where children under six years of age face the greatest risk of lead poisoning. The grant supports lead hazard control activities in low-income neighborhoods, builds local capacity of trained and certified individuals and firms to address lead hazards safely, and develops comprehensive community-based approaches integrating the program with other local initiatives through public and private partnerships. The award includes Healthy Homes Supplemental Funding to enhance lead-based paint hazard control activities by identifying and addressing other housing hazards affecting occupant health.

Period of performance runs from March 15, 2026 through March 15, 2030. Place of performance is Long Beach, CA 90815.
