The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) to the Administration Louisiana Division Of Community Development Division in Monroe, Louisiana. The grant funding will be used to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under 6 years old reside, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods. Key program activities include conducting lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement to reduce the likelihood of elevated blood lead levels in children. The grant also provides Healthy Homes Supplemental funding to comprehensively address other housing-related health and safety hazards. The award aims to protect over 3,700 low-income homes and build local capacity for lead-safe work practices through public-private partnerships.
