The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded a $2,000,000 Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Project Grant to Tejano Center For Community Concerns, Inc., a non-profit organization in Houston, Texas. The grant aims to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing with children under 6 years old, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods with pre-1960 construction. Key activities include conducting targeted lead inspections and risk assessments, implementing interim controls and abatement, and developing comprehensive community-based approaches to address housing-related health and safety hazards. The funding is part of HUD's Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) to protect children from lead poisoning by supporting state, local, and tribal governments in these efforts.
