This federal Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the Older Adults Home Modification Grant Program (CFDA #14.921), provides $1,000,000 to the Coalition For Home Repair to undertake a comprehensive program to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental or owner-occupied housing units where children under the age of 6 reside. The program aims to maximize the number of children protected from lead poisoning by targeting housing units built prior to 1960, with a focus on low-income and minority neighborhoods. The funding supports cost-effective lead hazard control methods, building local capacity for trained and certified professionals, affirmative marketing to families with young children, and targeted outreach and education on lead poisoning prevention. The award period spans September 2024 to September 2027, with the goal of addressing significant lead and health hazards in over 3,700 low-income homes where resources were previously unavailable.
