The County of Erie, Ohio, doing business as the Health Department, received a $4,500,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900). The purpose of the grant is to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under six years old reside, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods. Key activities funded include conducting lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls, and performing abatement to maximize the protection of children from lead poisoning. The grant also supports efforts to build local capacity for lead-safe work practices and develop community-based approaches to addressing housing-related health and safety hazards. As the prime awardee, the Erie County Health Department will serve as both the lead implementer and a subrecipient for this comprehensive lead hazard control project.
