Lead hazard reduction demonstration grant program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded the City of Las Vegas $3,813,151.71 under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) on March 15, 2026, to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing occupied by low- or very-low income families with children under age six.

The City of Las Vegas will direct lead hazard control efforts toward housing units constructed before 1960, particularly pre-1940 construction, in neighborhoods with historically elevated lead exposure risk. Activities include deploying cost-effective lead hazard control methods; building local capacity through training and certification of individuals and firms to address lead hazards safely during control, renovation, remodeling, and maintenance activities; and developing community-based approaches that integrate the grant within other local initiatives through public and private partnerships addressing housing-related health and safety hazards for low-income families with young children. Supplemental healthy homes funding is available to comprehensively identify and address other housing hazards affecting occupant health beyond lead-based paint.

Performance location is Las Vegas, Nevada 89101. The award period runs from March 15, 2026 through March 15, 2030. The assistance type is a project grant.
