This $999,871 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control is intended to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing in Urbana, Illinois where children under the age of six reside. The award to the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission aims to protect low-income families from lead exposure by conducting targeted lead inspections, risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement in pre-1960 housing units. Key grant activities include building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, developing community-based approaches to address housing-related health and safety hazards, and affirmatively marketing lead-safe units to families with young children for at least three years.
