The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $5,750,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant (CFDA 14.905) to the County of Chautauqua, New York on September 26, 2024. The grant funds will enable the county to undertake a comprehensive program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing units where children under the age of six reside. Key activities include targeted lead hazard control efforts, utilization of cost-effective remediation methods, building local capacity for safe lead hazard management, and conducting community outreach/education on lead poisoning prevention. The grant is expected to protect families and children by remediating significant lead and health hazards in over 3,700 low-income homes where resources were previously unavailable. The specific subrecipient activities are unknown at the time of the award.
