The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant to the City of Allentown, Pennsylvania under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900). This 4-year grant, with a period of performance from August 1, 2023 to February 1, 2027, will fund the city's efforts to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned housing occupied by low- and very low-income families. The primary objective is to protect children under six from lead poisoning through activities such as inspections, risk assessments, interim controls, and abatement of lead-based paint hazards. Allentown City Hall, the grant recipient, will partner with local housing associations, community groups, and other sub-recipients to implement the grant-funded project to address this public health issue within the city.
