The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $5,250,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) to the City of Clinton, Iowa on November 15, 2024. The grant funds will be used to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing units where children under 6 years of age reside, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 construction. Key objectives include: targeting high-risk housing units, utilizing cost-effective lead hazard control methods, building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, affirmatively marketing lead-safe units to families with young children, and collecting data to evaluate program outcomes. The grant also includes a Healthy Homes Supplemental component to address other housing-related health and safety issues.
