About this program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control operates Operation LEAP (CFDA 14.903), which funds leveraging of private sector resources to eliminate lead poisoning in housing for young children, with the most recent grant award in January 2010.
The program is no longer actively awarding grants. The portfolio shows 18 total Project Grants distributed between 2005 and 2010, with activity concentrated in 2005 (5 awards), 2007 (5 awards), 2008 (4 awards), and 2006 (3 awards), followed by a single award in 2010 and no disbursements in the past 16 years. No recent grant opportunities are currently posted.
Operation LEAP funds lead hazard control activities, including preventive and remedial lead-safe housing creation. Applicants must demonstrate concrete ability to leverage substantial private sector resources; seed-money grants are distributed to nonprofits or for-profits supporting national, state, and local entities creating lead-safe housing. Recent awards funded lead hazard control work in Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, and Louisiana, with awards typically in the $1.8 million to $2 million range. The Connecticut award (October 2008) obligated $1,999,161; the New York award (October 2008) obligated $766,100; and the Minnesota award (October 2007) obligated $1,394,228.
The program obligated $20.2 million in combined federal dollars across all 18 awards, with HUD as the sole funding agency. All awards were Project Grants. Given the sixteen-year gap since the last award and absence of posted opportunities, pursue status is not recommended at this time unless recovery activity is confirmed through HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control directly.
