The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $999,917 Project Grant to North Carolina State University under the Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program (CFDA 14.900). The grant will fund comprehensive programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in over 3,700 privately-owned rental or owner-occupied housing units in low-income communities where children under 6 years old reside. Key activities include conducting lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls and abatement, and providing targeted outreach and education on lead poisoning prevention. The grant seeks to maximize the number of children protected from lead exposure, 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 issues. The project period is from September 2024 to September 2027.
