The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $1,000,000 Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program grant (CFDA 14.900) to Case Western Reserve University's Office of Research Administration Division (doing business as University Hospitals of Cleveland). This Project Grant funding will be used 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 with pre-1960 construction. Key activities include conducting lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement to ensure the long-term safety of building occupants. The grant aims to protect children from lead poisoning, build local capacity for lead-safe work practices, and develop community-based approaches to addressing housing-related health and safety hazards.
