The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $2,000,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant to Bronx Neighborhood Housing Services CDC Inc. on January 24, 2025. The grant, awarded under CFDA 14.900 Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program, will fund a comprehensive program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing in the Bronx, New York where children under the age of six reside. Key program activities include conducting lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing lead-based paint abatement in low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 housing. The grant aims to protect children from lead poisoning, 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 hazards.
