About this opportunity
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is soliciting competitive grant applications for the Housing-Related Hazards (HRH) Capital Fund Program and Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Capital Fund Program to evaluate and reduce residential health hazards in public housing, including lead-based paint, carbon monoxide, mold, radon, and fire safety issues. Eligible applicants are public housing authorities with legal authority to develop, own, modernize, and operate public housing projects, including Moving to Work agencies and compliant troubled PHAs. Applications will be evaluated through a three-stage process: threshold review for eligibility and civil rights compliance, merit review using separate scoring criteria for HRH and LBP programs, and risk review. Merit scoring encompasses three rating factors: Need (60 points), Soundness of Approach and Cost Estimate (31 points), and Past Performance (9 points), with up to 4 additional preference points available for policy initiatives such as HBCU partnerships or Promise Zone alignment. The application deadline is May 4, 2026 at 11:59:59 PM Eastern Time, with an anticipated award date of August 4, 2026 and a 48-month performance period extending through August 4, 2030.
HUD is making $65 million available in competitive grants, with a minimum of $25 million reserved specifically for lead-based paint hazard activities; individual awards range from a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum of $5 million for HRH applications and $7.5 million for LBP applications, with a combined ceiling of $12.5 million for applicants pursuing both programs. HUD anticipates making approximately 40 awards under this opportunity. Grant activities will be performed in public housing developments across all fifty states and territories, with LBP applicants required to complete lead-based paint risk assessments and inspections within 12 months of grant award or provide existing assessments dated within 24 months of the application deadline.
Synopsis
This NOFO solicits applications for the Housing-Related Hazards (HRH) Capital Fund Program and the Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Capital Fund Program, referred to jointly as the HRH and LBP Capital Fund Program. The purpose of the HRH and LBP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to evaluate and reduce residential health hazards in public housing, including lead-based paint, carbon monoxide, mold, radon, and fire safety. In accordance with Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437g) (1937 Act), regulations at 24 CFR part 905, and the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (Public Law 119-4 enacted March 15, 2025), $65 million will be made available for competitive grants to public housing agencies to evaluate and reduce housing-related hazards including lead-based paint in public housing, whereas no less than $25 million of the $65 million of the available funds will be awarded for evaluating and reducing lead-based paint hazards specifically by carrying out the activities of lead-based risk assessments, inspections, abatement, interim controls, and clearance examinations. In the event there are not enough eligible applications to award $25 million in competitive grants to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards, any remaining amounts may be awarded to qualified applicants for evaluating and reducing housing-related hazards. While applicants may choose to apply for HRH or LBP only, this combined NOFO allows applicants to apply for both HRH and LBP by submitting one application following the specific rules and instructions for each. Applications will be competitively scored based on the unique rating factors for each individual program and funding may be awarded, fully or partially, under one program, both, or neither based on the rating, ranking, and funding available under each program. If the applicant is applying for funding under both grant programs, the rating and rankings will be determined separately.
