The City of Dunkirk was awarded a $1,855,008 Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. The purpose of this CFDA 14.900 Project Grant is to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under 6 years old reside, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods. The grant funds will be used to conduct lead inspections, risk assessments, implement interim controls, and perform abatement activities in over 3,700 low-income homes to protect families and children from lead poisoning. The city will also use the funding to build local capacity for lead-safe work practices and develop community-based approaches to address housing-related health and safety hazards. The grant period is from October 1, 2024 to October 1, 2027.
