This $1,250,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control is to support the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program. The purpose of this program is to maximize the number of children under 6 years old protected from lead poisoning by assisting state, local, and tribal governments in identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing. Key activities include targeted lead hazard control efforts, developing cost-effective abatement methods, building local capacity, implementing affirmative marketing, and collecting data to evaluate program outcomes. The award period is from August 1, 2024 to August 1, 2027, with the goal of addressing lead and health hazards in over 3,700 low-income homes where young children reside. The prime recipient is the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development, which may sub-award portions of the grant to implement the program at the community level.
