The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,999,891 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (CFDA 14.900) to Rebuilding Together, Inc. on January 24, 2025. This Project Grant funding will support Rebuilding Together's comprehensive program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under 6 years old reside, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods. Key objectives include maximizing the number of children protected from lead poisoning, utilizing cost-effective hazard control methods, building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and developing community-based approaches to address housing-related health and safety issues. The grant will enable Rebuilding Together and its nationwide network of local affiliates to conduct lead inspections, risk assessments, implement interim controls, and perform abatement activities in over 3,700 homes. The project also includes targeted outreach, education, and affirmative marketing to eligible families with young children.
