The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant to Habitat for Humanity of Michigan Inc. under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA #14.900) on January 23, 2025. The purpose of the grant is to protect children under the age of six 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 conducting lead inspections, risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement in low-income and minority neighborhoods with housing constructed before 1960. The grant program seeks to maximize the number of children protected, utilize cost-effective hazard control methods, build local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and develop community-based approaches to addressing housing-related health and safety hazards.
