The Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, awarded $1,105,274.29 to the non-profit organization We Want Green Too on January 23, 2025. The grant funding will be used 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 old reside, with a focus on low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 housing construction. Key activities to be performed include targeted lead hazard assessments, cost-effective remediation, capacity building for lead-safe work practices, affirmative marketing of lead-safe units, and data collection to evaluate program outcomes. The grant aligns with the objectives of the CFDA 14.900 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program to protect children from lead poisoning by assisting state, local, and tribal governments in addressing housing-related health and safety hazards.
