The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $1,000,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant (CFDA 14.905) to the County of Delaware, PA on September 30, 2024. The grant funding will be used to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing units where low-income families with children under 6 years old 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 and education on lead poisoning prevention. The grant program aims to protect over 3,700 low-income homes from dangerous lead exposure and support a comprehensive, community-based approach to addressing housing-related health and safety concerns.
