Lead Hazard Reduction Capacity Building Grant Program
The purpose of the Lead Hazard Control Capacity Building Grant Program is to assist states, Federally-recognized Native American Tribes (that have an U. S. Environmental Protection Agency-authorized lead abatement certification program), cities, counties/parishes, or other units of local government which
have not received a HUD lead hazard control grant or been a sub-recipient of such a grant since January 1, 2010 in developing the infrastructure necessary to undertake comprehensive programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned rental or owner-occupied housing.
The necessity of adequate capacity to ensure the successful implementation of a lead hazard control grant program relies on the following implementation of several key program components listed below:Build local capacity to determine the prevalence of childhood lead poisoning among children under six years in the targeted community(ies);Build local capacity to safely and effectively address lead hazards during lead hazard control and renovation, remodeling, and maintenance activities by integrating lead-safe work practices;Developing and implementing procedures/guidelines for program activities that include program intake of potential program participants that establish a system, or process that will facilitate lead-safe units to be affirmatively marketed to families with young children, such as advertising available units to such families where lead-based paint hazards have been controlled;Hiring qualified staff with experienced organizational management and financial capacity to immediately execute the program upon receipt of a grant award;Promote collaboration, data sharing, and targeting between health and housing departments;Developing key partnerships/subgrantees such as:
faith-based, health departments, coalitions, or other community-based organizations;Integrating strategies to incorporate lead hazard control into existing housing repair programs; (e.g.
housing rehabilitation, local housing ordinance, property maintenance, weatherization, housing-related health hazard interventions, and energy conservation activities);Obtaining high quality data to target resources where need is greatest; andDeveloping systems for sustaining a lead hazard control program after successful completion of a capacity building grant program.
