Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program | FR 6400 N 13

Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6400 N 13

The Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number FR 6400 N 13) is a discretionary grant offered by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to reduce childhood lead exposure by tackling lead-based paint hazards in housing. Its central goal is to increase the number of children under age six who are protected from lead poisoning by helping public entities run comprehensive, community-level programs that find and control lead-based paint hazards. The program is focused on eligible, privately owned "target housing," meaning housing that is most likely to contain lead-based paint and pose a risk to young children, and it supports practical, on-the-ground hazard reduction work rather than purely research or planning efforts.

This opportunity falls under the housing funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 14.905. HUD designed the program to support jurisdictions that can organize and deliver a full lead hazard control pipeline: identifying at-risk homes, assessing hazards, completing lead hazard reduction activities, and ensuring the work is done in a way that meaningfully lowers exposure for children. In practice, that typically involves coordinated efforts across local housing, health, and community partners to locate eligible properties, engage owners and residents, prioritize homes where young children live or regularly visit, and then carry out hazard control measures that address deteriorated lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust.

Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The notice also allows for additional eligible applicants described in HUD's "Additional Information on Eligibility" section (referenced in the opportunity materials), which generally means applicants should confirm any special eligibility pathways or conditions in the full announcement. The program is structured to empower government entities that have the authority and capacity to manage housing interventions and coordinate contractors, inspections, compliance, and community outreach.

Funding is provided as a grant, with an award ceiling of $9,000,000 per award and an expected total of about 70 awards. The opportunity was created on July 22, 2020, and the original closing date was August 24, 2020, with applications due by 11:59:59 pm Eastern Standard Time on the deadline date. Overall, the program is aimed at measurable public health impact: getting lead hazards identified and controlled in eligible privately owned homes so that the youngest children, who are most vulnerable to lead's developmental effects, are better protected.
