The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,054,805.46 Project Grant under the Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) to Restoring Dignity, a non-profit organization in Omaha, Nebraska. The grant funds will be used to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under age six reside, with a focus on low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 housing. Key objectives include maximizing protection of children from lead poisoning, utilizing cost-effective hazard control methods, building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and developing community-based approaches to addressing housing-related health and safety issues. The grant award has a performance period of approximately 3-4 years beginning January 23, 2025.
