Opportunity Summary:
The Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5600 N 04A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to reduce health risks from lead based paint in privately owned housing. At its core, the program supports local and tribal governments in running comprehensive, on-the-ground efforts to find and control lead hazards in eligible homes, whether those homes are owner occupied or privately owned rental units. The broader framework described in the notice also references the related Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program, which follows the same overall mission but is specifically aimed at urban jurisdictions with the greatest lead hazard control needs.
The goal is practical and public health focused: help communities systematically identify lead based paint hazards and carry out hazard control activities so families, especially children, are less likely to be exposed to lead in their homes. The opportunity sits within the housing funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 14.900, titled "Lead Based Paint Hazard Control in Privately Owned Housing." The notice indicates this funding is meant to back comprehensive local programs, meaning applicants are expected to do more than isolated one-off projects and instead operate coordinated approaches that can find at-risk units, assess hazards, intervene effectively, and manage compliance.
Funding under this announcement was substantial for the cycle listed. HUD estimated total available funding at $61,000,000 and anticipated making about 26 awards. Individual awards could be as large as $2,300,000 (the award ceiling). The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for eligible public entities that may not have flexible local dollars to contribute.
Eligibility is limited to governmental entities: states, Native American Tribes, cities, counties or parishes, and other units of local government. The notice also allows multiple units of local government, or multiple local governments, to apply together as a consortium, as long as they identify a single principal (lead) applicant. That lead applicant is responsible for ensuring the entire consortium complies with all requirements in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). A key additional requirement applies to state government and Native American tribal applicants: they must have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorized lead based paint training and certification program, reflecting the federal emphasis on proper training, certification, and safe work practices in lead hazard control activities.
The timeline in the source data shows the opportunity was posted on November 28, 2011, with a closing date of January 18, 2012, and it was archived on January 25, 2012. While those dates indicate this specific announcement is historical, the summary details still reflect how HUD structured the competition: discretionary grants, sizeable but capped awards, and eligibility focused on public entities capable of administering community-wide lead hazard control efforts.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help with the announcement, HUD provided two points of contact: Michelle M. Miller for programmatic questions (202-402-5769) and Nadine L. Heath for administrative questions (202-402-7680). The listing also notes an application package could be accessed via the CFDA reference.
