The County of Peoria, doing business as the Peoria Health Department, received a $6,096,475 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control under the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program (CFDA 14.905). The grant aims to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing, with a focus on protecting low-income families with children under six years old. Key objectives include targeted lead hazard control efforts, utilization of cost-effective remediation methods, building local capacity for safe lead hazard management, and conducting community outreach and education on lead poisoning prevention. The funding will enable the Health Department to provide lead hazard control services in over 3,700 low-income homes across Peoria, Illinois, addressing significant lead and health risks in these households. The grant period of performance runs from January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2029.
