The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,857,651 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (CFDA 14.900) to the City of Atlanta Department of Grants Community Development Division. The 3-year grant will fund a comprehensive program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing in Atlanta, Georgia where children under 6 years old reside. Key activities include conducting lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement in low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 housing. The grant aims to protect over 3,700 low-income homes from lead exposure and build local capacity for safe lead hazard remediation practices. The City of Atlanta will serve as the primary grant recipient, with the potential to subaward funding to local organizations for specific community-based programs.
