The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,244,925 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (CFDA 14.900) to Palolo Chinese Home, a non-profit organization based in Honolulu, Hawaii. The grant, with a period of performance from October 1, 2024 to October 1, 2027, is intended to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned housing where children under 6 years of age reside. Key objectives include targeting high-risk housing units, utilizing cost-effective lead hazard control methods, building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and conducting outreach/education on lead poisoning prevention. The grant aims to protect low-income families with young children by addressing significant lead and health hazards in over 3,700 homes where other resources are not available.
