The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) was awarded a $5,750,000 Project Grant by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control under the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program (CFDA 14.905). The purpose of this grant is to assist state and local governments in identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing where children under 6 years old reside, with a focus on low-income families. Key activities to be performed under this grant include: targeting lead hazard control efforts in high-risk housing, utilizing cost-effective remediation methods, building local capacity for safe lead hazard management, affirmative marketing of lead-safe units to families with young children, and conducting community outreach and education on lead poisoning prevention. The expected outcome is to protect over 3,700 low-income homes from dangerous lead exposure, thereby safeguarding the health of families and young children. The grant period of performance runs from November 15, 2024 to November 15, 2028.
