Lead hazard reduction demonstration grant program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control awarded Dallas County, Texas $2,550,837 on March 16, 2026, under the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing serving low- and very-low income families with children under age six.

Dallas County will target lead hazard control efforts in housing units where children under six face greatest risk of lead poisoning, prioritizing pre-1960 and especially pre-1940 construction in low-income and minority neighborhoods. The recipient will employ cost-effective lead hazard control methods, build local capacity of trained and certified individuals and firms to address lead hazards safely, and develop comprehensive community-based approaches integrating this program within other local housing initiatives through public and private partnerships. The funding also supports identification and remediation of other housing hazards affecting occupant health through Healthy Homes supplemental activities.

Place of performance is Dallas, TX 75202. The period of performance runs from March 16, 2026, through March 16, 2030. The assistance type is a project grant.
