Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5600 N 04B) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) focused on reducing lead-based paint hazards in housing. Its core aim is to help public entities build and carry out comprehensive, on-the-ground programs that find lead hazards and control them in eligible privately owned homes, including both rental properties and owner-occupied units. While it sits under the broader Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control effort, this particular "Demonstration" program is specifically geared toward urban jurisdictions that have the greatest need for lead hazard control, meaning it is intended for places where the risk and prevalence of lead-based paint hazards are most significant and where a strong, targeted intervention can have a major public health impact.

Funding is structured as grant awards, with an anticipated 15 awards nationwide and an estimated total program funding amount of $45,000,000. Individual awards can be as large as $3,000,000 (the award ceiling). The opportunity is listed under CFDA 14.905. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project budget in accordance with the notice requirements. The program falls under the Housing funding activity category, reflecting its emphasis on improving the safety and habitability of residential units rather than, for example, medical treatment or general environmental remediation in non-housing settings.

Eligible applicants are government entities: states, Native American Tribes, cities, counties/parishes, and other units of local government. The solicitation also allows multiple units of local government, or multiple local governments, to apply together as a consortium. In a consortium approach, one entity must be named the principal or lead applicant, and that lead organization is responsible for ensuring the entire consortium complies with the requirements described in the NOFA (Notice of Funding Availability). A specific eligibility condition applies to state governments and Native American tribal applicants: they must have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-authorized lead-based paint training and certification program. That condition signals HUDs expectation that funded jurisdictions have, or can rely on, an established infrastructure for ensuring lead work is conducted safely and in compliance with federal standards.

The timeline for this archived opportunity shows it was posted on November 28, 2011, created on December 14, 2011, and closed on January 18, 2012 (with the archive date listed as January 25, 2012). Even though these dates indicate the specific announcement is historical, the summary details capture how HUD framed the program: supporting local and state capacity to systematically identify lead-based paint hazards and carry out hazard control activities in privately owned housing, with an emphasis on high-need urban communities.

For applicants or stakeholders who needed help during the application period, HUD provided points of contact for both programmatic and administrative questions. Programmatic questions were directed to Michelle M. Miller at 202-402-5769, and administrative questions to Nadine L. Heath at 202-402-7680. The announcement also referenced an additional information link to download the application package using the CFDA number, which is consistent with how HUD opportunities often provide application materials and instructions tied to the CFDA listing.
