The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,250,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) project grant to Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada, a non-profit organization. The grant funding will be used to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned low-income housing in Las Vegas, NV over a 3.5-year project period ending November 15, 2027. Key activities include lead inspections, risk assessments, interim controls, and abatement to protect children under age six from lead poisoning. The grant will also support building local capacity for lead-safe work practices, affirmative marketing of lead-safe units, and data collection to evaluate program outcomes. Rebuilding Together Southern Nevada has previously received federal sub-awards to provide critical home repairs and ADA modifications for seniors, veterans, and disabled residents in the Las Vegas and Henderson areas.
