The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant to Multi-County Community Service Agency, Inc. (MCCSA), a non-profit organization in Meridian, Mississippi, under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900). The funding will support MCCSA's efforts to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned housing occupied by low- or very-low income families with children under six years old. Key activities include conducting lead inspections, risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement in pre-1960 housing located in low-income and minority neighborhoods. This federal grant award, with a performance period from May 1, 2024 to November 1, 2027, aims to protect children from lead poisoning by implementing comprehensive lead hazard control measures in targeted residential properties.
