Opportunity Summary:
The Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), listed under CFDA 14.900 (Lead Based Paint Hazard Control in Privately Owned Housing). Its central aim is to help government entities run comprehensive, on-the-ground programs that find and reduce lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing, including both rental properties and owner-occupied homes. The broader framework described in the notice also references the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program, which follows the same overall mission but is specifically geared toward urban jurisdictions with the greatest need for lead hazard control, meaning it is intended to concentrate resources where the burden of lead hazards is highest.
The opportunity is designed for public-sector applicants rather than private individuals or standalone nonprofits. Eligible applicants include Native American Tribes, states, cities, counties/parishes, and other units of local government. The notice also allows multiple local governments (or multiple units within a local government) to apply together as a consortium, but it requires that one principal or lead applicant be named. That lead applicant is expected to take responsibility for compliance with the NOFA requirements, which typically includes meeting program rules, managing reporting, and ensuring the partnership delivers the planned hazard control work.
HUD also clarifies how quasi-public or affiliated entities can qualify. If the applicant is a housing agency, community development corporation, redevelopment authority, or another organization that is not clearly the executive office or a department of a Tribe, state, city, or county/parish government, the applicant must show that it is actually part of the relevant government rather than an independent entity. The NOFA asks for statutory or other formal documentation to prove that relationship. To reduce paperwork barriers, HUD permits applicants to submit publicly available internet documentation by citing the document title and providing a direct URL, as long as the material is accessible without passwords or encryption.
There are several eligibility conditions aimed at accountability and preventing repeated underperformance. Existing HUD grantees with performance deficiencies may be blocked from receiving a new award through this competition. Specifically, if an applicant has an active Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (OHHLHC) grant that received a "Red" performance designation and was behind schedule on HUD benchmarks for housing unit production or funds expenditure for the last two consecutive reporting periods before the application deadline, they cannot receive an award unless they correct the deficiency. Even if selected, HUD will not make the award until the applicant improves to a "Yellow" or "Green" performance status and meets the standard benchmarks for both production and spending. If the applicant fails to fix the deficiency within three months after selection, HUD may cancel the award and offer it to the next highest-ranked qualified applicant.
The NOFA also includes rules related to prior-year awards. If an organization received an award under the FY 2009 NOFA cycle for any of the programs covered by this NOFA, it is generally not eligible to apply again unless it received only partial funding in FY 2009. Applicants that were partially funded may apply for additional funds. An important carve-out is that entities funded under the FY 2009 Lead Hazard Control Capacity Building Grant Program are still eligible to apply and will be treated as a "new applicant" for purposes of this competition.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is labeled with Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 11 and categorized as a discretionary program, with the funding instrument type listed as "Other." It does not require cost sharing or matching, which means applicants generally are not required to contribute a set amount of non-federal funds as a condition of the award (though programs like this often still expect thoughtful leveraging and partnerships even when a formal match is not required). The posting timeline included a posted date of September 2, 2010, with an original closing date of October 15, 2010, later updated to October 18, 2010, and an archive date of October 21, 2010. Application materials are referenced through an additional information link indicating applicants should download the application package and instructions using the CFDA number only.
For support, HUD lists a program contact for applicants who have trouble accessing the announcement or who have programmatic questions. The contact is Michelle Miller, Director, Programs Division, Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, at 202-402-5769 (not toll-free).
