Opportunity Summary:
The Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program (LHRD) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administered through HUDs Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. Its central goal is to help eligible government jurisdictions run comprehensive, on-the-ground programs that find and control lead-based paint hazards in privately owned housing, including both rental properties and owner-occupied homes. While HUD also operates the broader Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Program, the LHRD program is specifically aimed at urban jurisdictions that have the greatest need for lead hazard control, meaning communities where older housing and elevated lead risks are most likely to overlap.
This notice (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 11B, CFDA 14.905) is not simply a standard announcement; it is a technical correction to the original FY2010 NOFA. HUD corrected mistakes in Appendix A of the original NOFA, which accidentally left out three jurisdictions that should have been eligible (Syracuse, NY; Westchester County, NY; and San Antonio, TX) and mistakenly listed some jurisdictions that were not eligible. Because of that correction, HUD adjusted key deadlines and emphasized that applicants must pay close attention to the updated due dates. HUD also corrected an associated benchmark form (HUD 96009): it had been posted as a 36-month benchmark form, but it should have been the 42-month LHRD benchmark form, and HUD replaced it with the correct version.
Eligibility is limited to governmental entities: Native American Tribes, states, cities, counties/parishes, and other units of local government. Multiple local governments can apply together as a consortium, but they must name a lead applicant that takes responsibility for compliance with all NOFA requirements. State governments and Native American Tribes have an extra prerequisite: they must have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-authorized lead-based paint training and certification program. The NOFA also anticipates that some applicants may be quasi-governmental or affiliated entities such as housing agencies, community development corporations, or redevelopment authorities. If an applicant is not clearly the executive office or a department of a government, it must document that it is legally part of the eligible government (not a separate organization). HUD allows flexibility here, including the option to cite publicly available online legal documents by providing the title and URL instead of scanning and uploading copies.
HUD also places conditions on applicants that are already managing HUD healthy homes/lead grants. Existing grantees with performance problems may be blocked from receiving a new award. Specifically, if an applicant has received a Red performance designation on any active Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control grant for being behind schedule on production or expenditure benchmarks for both of the last two consecutive reporting periods prior to the deadline, HUD will not finalize an award unless the deficiency is corrected (moving to Yellow or Green and meeting benchmark standards). Even if such an applicant is initially selected, HUD can cancel the award if the problem is not fixed within three months and may then offer the funds to the next highest-ranked qualified applicant. In addition, HUD restricts applications from jurisdictions that received awards in the FY2009 NOFA cycle for any of the programs covered by that NOFA, unless the applicant only received partial funding. Applicants that were partially funded may apply again. There is also a specific carve-out: applicants funded under the FY2009 Lead Hazard Control Capacity Building Grant Program remain eligible and are treated as new applicants for purposes of this competition.
The notice highlights that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this opportunity, though it also references a match waiver request process in the corrected deadlines section, indicating that match-related provisions may exist in the broader program framework or in certain situations addressed by the NOFA. The most time-sensitive part of this correction is the set of revised deadlines. For the three newly restored eligible jurisdictions (Syracuse, Westchester County, and San Antonio), the match waiver request deadline was extended to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 13, 2010, and the application submission deadline was extended to 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 4, 2010. For all other jurisdictions eligible under the LHRD program and unaffected by the Appendix A error, the application receipt deadline was extended to 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 22, 2010 (from the original October 15 date). HUD also clarifies that jurisdictions applying under the separate Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) were not affected by these LHRD deadline changes; their deadline remained October 15, 2010 at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted September 2, 2010, with creation dated September 23, 2010, and it ultimately closed November 4, 2010, with an archive date of November 10, 2010. The listing points applicants to download the application package and instructions using the CFDA number, and it stresses reviewing the technical correction PDF and using the corrected HUD 96009 benchmark form. For help, HUD provided a program contact for questions: Michelle Miller, Director, Programs Division, Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, at 202-402-5769, with a fax number of 202-755-1000.
Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program (LHRD) - FAQs
What is the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program (LHRD)?
The Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program (LHRD) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administered through HUD's Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. The program is designed to support eligible government jurisdictions in running comprehensive, on-the-ground efforts to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in privately owned housing.
What is the main purpose of the LHRD program?
The central goal is to help eligible jurisdictions implement programs that find and control lead-based paint hazards in privately owned housing, including rental properties and owner-occupied homes. The notice emphasizes comprehensive, practical implementation in communities with high need.
How is LHRD different from HUD's Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Program?
While HUD operates the broader Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Program, the LHRD program is specifically aimed at urban jurisdictions with the greatest need for lead hazard control, where older housing stock and elevated lead risk are more likely to overlap.
What is this notice and why was it issued?
This notice (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5415 N 11B, CFDA 14.905) is a technical correction to the original FY2010 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA). HUD issued it to fix errors in the original NOFA, particularly mistakes in Appendix A related to which jurisdictions were eligible, and to correct related deadlines and forms.
Which jurisdictions were accidentally left out and then restored as eligible?
HUD corrected Appendix A after discovering it had accidentally left out three jurisdictions that should have been eligible: Syracuse, NY; Westchester County, NY; and San Antonio, TX.
Did the technical correction also remove some jurisdictions from eligibility?
Yes. HUD stated that Appendix A in the original NOFA mistakenly listed some jurisdictions that were not eligible. The technical correction addressed those errors.
What forms were corrected as part of this notice?
HUD corrected the benchmark form HUD 96009. It had been posted as a 36-month benchmark form, but the LHRD program requires the 42-month LHRD benchmark form. HUD replaced the posted form with the correct version and instructed applicants to use the corrected HUD 96009.
Who is eligible to apply for LHRD?
Eligibility is limited to governmental entities, including Native American Tribes, states, cities, counties/parishes, and other units of local government.
Can multiple local governments apply together?
Yes. Multiple local governments may apply as a consortium, but they must name a lead applicant. The lead applicant is responsible for compliance with all NOFA requirements.
Are there extra eligibility requirements for states and Native American Tribes?
Yes. State governments and Native American Tribes must have an EPA-authorized lead-based paint training and certification program as an additional prerequisite.
Can housing agencies, community development corporations, or redevelopment authorities apply?
The NOFA anticipates that some applicants may be quasi-governmental or affiliated entities (for example, housing agencies, community development corporations, or redevelopment authorities). If an applicant is not clearly the executive office or a department of a government, the applicant must document that it is legally part of the eligible government and not a separate organization.
How can an applicant document that it is legally part of an eligible government entity?
If the applicant is not clearly the executive office or a government department, it must provide documentation showing it is legally part of the eligible government. HUD allows flexibility, including citing publicly available online legal documents by providing the document title and URL instead of scanning and uploading copies.
Are there restrictions for applicants that already manage HUD healthy homes/lead grants?
Yes. Existing grantees with performance problems may be blocked from receiving a new award. HUD specifically describes restrictions tied to performance designations and whether the applicant is behind schedule on production or expenditure benchmarks.
What does a "Red" performance designation mean for eligibility?
If an applicant has a Red performance designation on any active Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control grant because it is behind schedule on production or expenditure benchmarks for both of the last two consecutive reporting periods prior to the deadline, HUD will not finalize an award unless the deficiency is corrected (moving to Yellow or Green and meeting benchmark standards).
What happens if an applicant is selected but still has a Red designation issue?
Even if such an applicant is initially selected, HUD may cancel the award if the performance problem is not fixed within three months. HUD may then offer the funds to the next highest-ranked qualified applicant.
Are jurisdictions that received FY2009 awards allowed to apply?
HUD restricts applications from jurisdictions that received awards in the FY2009 NOFA cycle for any of the programs covered by that NOFA, unless the applicant only received partial funding. Applicants that were partially funded may apply again.
Is there an exception for FY2009 Capacity Building grantees?
Yes. Applicants funded under the FY2009 Lead Hazard Control Capacity Building Grant Program remain eligible and are treated as new applicants for purposes of this competition.
Is there a cost sharing or matching requirement?
The notice highlights that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement for this opportunity. At the same time, the corrected deadlines section references a match waiver request process, indicating the NOFA discusses match-related provisions in some way even though the notice emphasizes no match requirement.
What were the revised deadlines for Syracuse, Westchester County, and San Antonio?
For the three newly restored eligible jurisdictions (Syracuse, NY; Westchester County, NY; and San Antonio, TX), HUD extended the match waiver request deadline to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 13, 2010, and extended the application submission deadline to 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 4, 2010.

For all other jurisdictions eligible under the LHRD program and unaffected by the Appendix A error, the application receipt deadline was extended to 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 22, 2010 (from the original October 15 date).
Did these LHRD deadline changes affect the separate Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program (CFDA 14.900)?
No. HUD clarified that jurisdictions applying under the separate Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program (CFDA 14.900) were not affected by these LHRD deadline changes. Their deadline remained October 15, 2010 at 11:59:59 p.m. Eastern Time.
