Opportunity Summary:
This HUD discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity No. FR 5200 N 06) bundles three related programs that all focus on reducing lead-based paint hazards in privately owned housing, with the broader public health goal of preventing lead poisoning, especially among young children. The three tracks are the Lead Based Paint Hazard Control (LBPHC) Grant Program, the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration (LHRD) Grant Program, and the Operation Lead Elimination Action Program (LEAP). Across the three programs, HUD made about $132 million available using a combination of current-year and prior-year funds. The overall emphasis is on comprehensive, on-the-ground work to find lead hazards and control them in eligible homes, rather than research-only activities.
The LBPHC Grant Program is designed for government applicants that can run a full local or statewide lead hazard control effort. Its purpose is to help states, Native American Tribes, cities, counties/parishes, and other units of local government identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing, including both rental properties and owner-occupied homes. The program also allows consortia, meaning multiple local governments can apply together, as long as they name one lead applicant that takes responsibility for meeting all NOFA requirements and managing compliance. A key eligibility detail is that state governments and Native American tribal applicants must have an EPA-authorized lead-based paint training and certification program, which ties the grant work to proper workforce standards and compliance.
The LHRD Grant Program has the same basic purpose as LBPHC (identifying and controlling lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing), but it is explicitly targeted to urban jurisdictions with the greatest needs for lead hazard control. Eligibility is narrower and more data-driven: a city, county/parish, Native American Tribe, or other unit of local government must have at least 3,500 occupied rental housing units built before 1940 (either within the jurisdiction itself or aggregated through a consortium). This threshold is based on 2000 Census data referenced through HUD forms and supporting materials, and HUD provided a list of qualifying metropolitan areas in an appendix available via Grants.gov. States can apply on behalf of eligible local jurisdictions if the state has an EPA-authorized lead training and certification program. The rules also try to prevent overlapping applications: if a jurisdiction is included within a state, county/parish, or consortium application, it cannot also apply on its own, and consortium applicants must avoid double-counting housing units when meeting the 3,500-unit threshold.
LEAP differs from the other two programs mainly in who can apply and how the work is framed. Its purpose is to leverage private-sector resources to eliminate lead poisoning as a major public health threat to children under age six who live in eligible privately owned housing units. Instead of being a local-government program, LEAP is aimed at non-profit and for-profit entities (as well as colleges and universities), and it encourages both national and local organizations to participate. Consortia are allowed here too, with a designated lead applicant responsible for administration and compliance. Importantly, states, cities, counties/parishes, and units of local government (and their departments) are not eligible for LEAP. Another important constraint is that for-profit entities may apply but are not allowed to earn a fee, which signals HUDs intent that funds support direct program outcomes rather than profit-taking.
Cost sharing matters in this competition. Matching funds are required for the LBPHC and LHRD programs. For LHRD specifically, HUD notes that it may waive the 25 percent match requirement if the applicant submits a waiver request that meets HUDs criteria, which can be significant for high-need urban jurisdictions that may have difficulty assembling the full match. LEAP is presented primarily as a mechanism to bring in and coordinate private resources, and the excerpt does not describe a match requirement for LEAP in the same way it does for LBPHC and LHRD.
From an application logistics standpoint, all applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov and received and validated by 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time by the applicable deadline. The deadline for LBPHC and LEAP was July 10, 2008, while the deadline for LHRD was July 17, 2008. HUD also issued a technical correction to the NOFA on June 12, 2008, and applicants were directed to follow the instructions in the official downloadable application materials. The CFDA numbers associated with the two core hazard-control tracks are 14.900 (Lead Based Paint Hazard Control in Privately Owned Housing) and 14.905 (Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program), and the administering agency is the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. For support, the listing provides a program contact (Jonnette Hawkins, 202-402-7593) for applicants who could not access the announcement electronically.
