The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Public and Indian Housing Office awarded the Norwich Housing Authority a $7,500,000 Project Grant under the Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program (CFDA 14.888). The grant, awarded on September 17, 2024, will enable the Norwich Housing Authority to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint, carbon monoxide, mold, radon, fire safety, and asbestos hazards in its public housing units. Specifically, the funds will be used to conduct lead-based paint risk assessments, inspections, abatement, interim controls, and clearance examinations across the approximately 900 public housing units managed by the organization. The grant will also cover other necessary work to prepare for lead hazard control, such as repairs to building substrates and fixing leaks. The expected outcomes of this grant are the completion of the approved project to mitigate housing-related health hazards, ultimately benefiting the low-income public housing residents served by the Norwich Housing Authority.
