The federal Project Grant award in the amount of $1,200,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900). The grant funding will be used by the awardee, New Directions Housing Corp, to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing in Louisville, Kentucky where children under 6 years old reside. Key activities include conducting lead inspections, risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement to protect low-income families from lead poisoning. The grant program aims to maximize the number of children under 6 protected from lead hazards, utilize cost-effective control methods, build local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and develop community-based approaches to address housing-related health and safety issues. The award has a period of performance from October 1, 2024 to October 1, 2027.
