Opportunity Summary:
The Lead Outreach Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR 5200 N 15) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) under the housing funding activity category. Its central goal is to reduce lead-based paint hazards and prevent lead poisoning by supporting strong, practical outreach, education, and training efforts aimed at the general public, with a clear emphasis on protecting low-income children who are at higher risk of exposure. In plain terms, the program is designed to help organizations communicate what lead hazards look like, where they are commonly found (especially in older housing), why they are dangerous, and what steps families and communities can take to reduce or eliminate exposure.
The opportunity anticipates making about 8 awards. Individual grant awards are expected to range from $300,000 (award floor) up to $1,500,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants generally are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award, although applicants may still choose to leverage other resources if it strengthens their approach. HUD notes that a technical correction was published in the Federal Register and is also posted in the instructions download, which signals that applicants should pay close attention to the updated instructions and any corrected language before submitting.
Eligible applicants include a broad mix of U.S.-based entities: academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and federally recognized Native American tribes. For-profit firms may also apply, but with an important restriction: they are not allowed to earn a fee from the project, meaning the work must be conducted on a no-profit basis under this grant. Partnerships are encouraged, which fits the outreach nature of the program since effective lead education campaigns often work best when housing agencies, health groups, schools, and community organizations coordinate. Even in a partnership, HUD requires that one lead applicant be clearly identified, and that lead applicant is responsible for compliance with all requirements laid out in the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA), including reporting, program rules, and administrative obligations.
Timing-wise, the grant was posted on May 6, 2008, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2008, and an archive date of July 18, 2008. The listing references an application package download page as the place to access and submit the necessary materials. For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a direct program contact: Jonnette Hawkins at (202) 402-7593.
