Federal Grant Award Summary

The City of Quincy, Massachusetts, received a $4.75 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900), awarded April 1, 2026, with a completion date of April 1, 2030. The grant funds comprehensive lead-based paint hazard identification and control activities targeting privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing units constructed before 1960, with particular focus on low-income and minority neighborhoods where children under six years of age face the greatest risk of lead poisoning exposure.

Under this award, the City of Quincy's Department of Planning & Community Development will deliver lead hazard assessment, interim controls, and abatement services to eligible housing units, while simultaneously building local workforce capacity through training and certification programs for lead-safe work practices. The grant also supports the development of community-based partnerships that integrate lead hazard control with broader housing health and safety initiatives, complemented by Healthy Homes Supplemental funding to address additional residential hazards affecting occupant health.
