This federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program (CFDA 14.921), provides $1,000,000 to Evang Community Action, a non-profit organization, to undertake a comprehensive program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under 6 years of age reside.
The key activities to be performed under this 3-year grant, awarded on September 15, 2024, include: targeting lead hazard control efforts in pre-1960 (especially pre-1940) housing units in low-income and minority neighborhoods; utilizing cost-effective lead hazard control methods; building local capacity of trained and certified professionals; affirmatively marketing lead-safe units to families with young children; and conducting outreach and education on lead poisoning prevention. The overarching goal is to protect families and children by addressing significant lead and health hazards in over 3,700 low-income homes where other resources are not available.
