Opportunity Summary:
The Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (HHLPPP) is a CDC grant program designed to reduce or eliminate health hazards found in housing and to support homes that are healthy, safe, affordable, and accessible. The core idea is practical public health prevention: identify the housing conditions that are making people sick or causing injuries, then intervene in a coordinated way to prevent those outcomes. While lead poisoning prevention is part of the program identity, the opportunity is framed broadly around multiple housing-related hazards, with the goal of reducing disease and injury linked to where people live.
A key expectation of the program is that applicants use data to drive decisions, rather than relying on general assumptions about need. Jurisdictions are expected to determine their priority hazards, related diseases or conditions, and highest-risk populations by analyzing program data and other credible sources such as U.S. Census data, hospital admissions or emergency visit patterns, and address-based indicators like building code, sanitary code, or inspection violations. This emphasis signals that CDC is looking for targeted, evidence-informed strategies that can demonstrate why specific neighborhoods, property types, or populations are being prioritized, and how chosen interventions connect directly to measurable health risks.
The announcement also stresses equity and disproportionate burden. Applicants are expected to put special emphasis on populations that suffer more heavily from housing-related disease, which commonly includes communities facing poverty, older housing stock, under-resourced neighborhoods, and groups historically exposed to environmental and housing inequities. In practice, this means proposals should show how the program will identify and reach the residents most likely to be harmed by home hazards, and how services and interventions will be delivered in a way that reduces disparities rather than spreading resources thinly across lower-risk areas.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning CDC anticipated an active partnership role beyond simply issuing funds. The funding activity category is health, and it is tied to CFDA 93.070 (Environmental Public Health and Emergency Response). The estimated total funding for the opportunity was $69,000,000, with an expected 40 awards. Individual awards were projected to range from $300,000 (award floor) to $600,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible public entities and tribal organizations that may not have the budget flexibility to provide a match.
Eligibility was broad across governmental and tribal public health structures. Eligible applicants included federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers. State and local governments were eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement (such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and others). Political subdivisions of states could apply if they served a population of 1,000,000 or more and had authority to govern, regulate, implement, and enforce policies or codes related to health or housing within the jurisdiction identified in the application. The opportunity also allowed applications from bona fide agents of a state or local government, but required documentation, specifically a letter from the relevant government confirming that status.
The timeline for this specific posting reflects a 2011 funding cycle. The opportunity was posted and created on January 31, 2011. A letter of intent was due February 28, 2011, and the application submission date was March 16, 2011 (with the current closing date listed as March 18, 2011). The archive date was April 17, 2011, indicating the announcement is no longer open and is maintained for recordkeeping and reference.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, CDC provided a procurement and grants office contact (TIMS) with a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email (PGOTIM@cdc.gov). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC support for data-driven, equity-focused housing health hazard prevention, encouraging jurisdictions to identify local housing risks, prioritize the most affected residents, and implement interventions that measurably reduce housing-related disease and injury.
