The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,000,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (CFDA 14.900) to the City of Lincoln, Nebraska to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under 6 years old reside. The grant funding will be used to conduct targeted lead inspections, risk assessments, and implement cost-effective lead hazard control methods in low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 housing. Key objectives include maximizing protection for children under 6, building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and developing community-based approaches to address housing-related health and safety hazards. The grant is expected to enable the City of Lincoln to address lead hazards in over 3,700 low-income homes. The award period is from February 3, 2025 to an unspecified end date.
