hazards in public housing, including lead-based paint, carbon monoxide, mold, radon, and fire
safety. While you may choose to focus your application on HRH or LBP only, this combined
NOFO will allow you to apply for both HRH and LBP by submitting one application.
2. Funding Details
Type of Funding Instrument
G (Grant)
Available Funds
Funding of approximately $65,000,000 is available through this NOFO. Subject to
appropriations, HUD reserves the right to award fiscal year 2026 funds based on this NOFO
competition.
Additional funds may become available for award. Use of these funds is subject to statutory
constraints. All awards are subject to the selection process contained in this NOFO.
The $65 million is available to address housing hazards, including lead-based paint. You may
focus your application in one or both areas.
1. General Housing-Related Hazards Focus: Funds available under this NOFO support
applications that evaluate and reduce housing-related hazards including mold, radon,
carbon monoxide, and fire safety hazards in public housing (e.g., HRH)
2. Lead-Based Paint Focus: No less than $25 million of the $65 million is available for
applications that propose to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards specifically
by carrying out the activities of lead-based risk assessments, inspections, abatement,
interim controls, clearance examinations, and relocation (e.g., LBP). In the event there
are not enough eligible applications to award $25 million, any remaining amounts may
be awarded to eligible applications focused on HRH.
Number of Awards
HUD expects to make approximately 40 awards from the funds available under this NOFO.

conditions included in the NOFO.
A. Eligible Applicants
1. Eligible Entity Types:
08 (Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities)
Additional Information on Eligibility
• Public Housing Agencies - PHAs with the legal authority to develop, own,
modernize, and operate a public housing project in accordance with the Act are
eligible.
• Moving to Work Agencies - PHAs participating in the Moving to Work Demonstration
Program (MTW) are eligible to apply.

• Individuals
2. Restrictions
a. Statutory and Regulatory Requirements Affecting Eligibility
You must comply with the current General Statutory and Regulatory Requirements Affecting
Eligibility for HUD’s Competitive Programs. HUD will review your eligibility before issuing an
award. As part of this review, HUD uses SAM.gov and Department of Treasury data.
b. Application Eligibility
1. You may apply for both HRH and LBP funding, following the specific rules and instructions
for each. You can apply using a single application (for both HRH and LBP) or separate
applications (one for HRH and one for LBP). However, you cannot submit more than one
application for HRH or LBP per PHA.
Each application can request funding for one or more public housing projects (Inventory
Management System (IMS)/PIH Information Center (PIC) Development(s)/Asset
Management Project (AMP)) and for one or more activities.
2. You must include at least one eligible activity for at least one eligible IMS/PIC
Development/AMP as described in this NOFO. You must clearly identify which IMS/PIC
Development/AMP(s) are included for funding by listing the correct development name and
development number, as shown in PIC, on the grant designation statement and form HUD-

50075.1. See Section IV.A. for additional information on required forms and documents.
3. Restrictions on Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Projects: You cannot use the
funds from this grant for any projects that are part of the Rental Assistance Demonstration
(RAD) program, specifically those with “Commitments to enter into Housing Assistance
Payments Contracts” (CHAPs).
For a property with a CHAP, HUD will assume all units are part of the CHAP, even if the
agreement is being implemented in phases and some units are not yet covered. If a CHAP is
issued after funds are awarded under this NOFO, the AMP will no longer be eligible for this
program, and the remaining funds will need to be returned. HUD may also determine that all
grant funds should be returned.
If you are awarded a grant, you may be required to periodically certify to HUD that funded
work is not occurring in an IMS/PIC development that is subject to a CHAP.
4. Relation to Repositioning (Non-RAD): Funds from this grant cannot be used for
properties that are in the process of converting to another federal housing program, such as:
• Streamlined Voluntary Conversion (SVC)
• Section 18 disposition or demolition
HUD will consider ineligibility when an application for SVC or Section 18 demolition or
disposition is approved by HUD's Special Application Center. If a SVC or Section 18 approval
is issued after funds are awarded under this NOFO, the AMP will no longer be eligible for this
program and the remaining funds will need to be returned. HUD may also determine that all
grant funds should be returned.
• Selling to a third party: You cannot use these funds for a property being sold to a
third party under a Section 18 disposition, unless new public housing will be built on
the site.
If you are awarded a grant, you may be required to periodically certify to HUD that funded
work is not occurring in an IMS/PIC development that is subject to a SVC approval or Section
18 demolition or disposition approval.
c. Additional Restrictions on Project Activities:
You must review the following restrictions to ensure your application is compliant. If you are
selected for funding, you are expected to implement the applicable requirements. HUD
reserves the right to approve or disapprove any activity and may adjust grant budget amounts
accordingly within individual grants.
1. Eligible Activities and Costs
• Activities under this NOFO must comply with 24 CFR Part 905.
• PHAs are not permitted to use any amount of an award under this NOFO to reimburse
for eligible Capital Fund activities that were already funded by another source. All
Capital Fund obligations, expenditures, and disbursements must be recorded to the
appropriate grant.
• Per 24 CFR 905.300, PHAs cannot spend Capital Funds on any work that is not

included in an approved CFP 5-Year Action Plan and its amendments. PHAs should
update the CFP 5-Year Action Plan once a grant is awarded, but it must be approved
prior to obligating any funds.
2. HRH-Specific Funding Restrictions
• HRH funding requests are limited to mold, radon, carbon monoxide, and fire safety
hazards.
• HRH funds can only be used for the activities associated with the housing-related
hazard(s) identified in this NOFO and the submitted application.
• Applications for Carbon Monoxide detectors are not eligible. Per Notice PIH 2022-01,
all PHAs must be in compliance with the International Fire Code (IFC) 2018 Standards
on the installation of Carbon Monoxide alarms or detectors by December 27, 2022.
Eligible grant activities for addressing carbon monoxide hazards under this NOFO
include, but are not limited to, installing ventilation hoods over existing gas stoves, or
replacing gas stoves with electric stoves.
3. LBP-Specific Funding Restrictions:
• LBP funds can only be used for the lead-based paint risk assessments, inspections,
abatement, interim controls, clearance examinations and relocation. Other work at the
property, including work to prepare for lead hazard control (e.g., repairs to the
substrate, fixing leaks or other renovations) must be funded by other sources.
• Funds awarded for lead-based paint grant activities may not be expended at IMS/PIC
Development(s)/AMP(s) that do not meet the definition of target housing as defined
under the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 and this
NOFO. Buildings that meet the definition of target housing but are missing construction
dates in the IMS/PIC system must be updated in the PIC system prior to the
application close date to reflect the actual construction date. Grantees that need
assistance with these updates should work with their field office representative.
• Housing units that have had lead-based paint abated (as demonstrated by
documentation of a prior lead evaluation and abatement), and where the abatement is
still ongoing are not eligible for enrollment under this grant program. If the PHA is
unsure whether units meet these criteria, they should consult with a certified risk
assessor to determine this before applying for funding under this program.
B. Cost Sharing or Matching
This Program does not require cost sharing or matching.

III. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
A. Purpose
The HRH and LBP Capital Fund Program provides funding to PHAs to evaluate and reduce
residential health hazards in public housing, including lead-based paint, carbon monoxide,
mold, radon, and fire safety.
B. Goals and Objectives
HRH and LBP awards aim to improve the physical condition of PHAs and the health and
safety of public housing residents. To achieve this, the program was designed to:
• Determine the quality, health, and safety of the HUD rental assistance portfolio by
significantly increasing the number and type of physical inspections based on the
hazard.
• Increase physical inspection scores by following National Standards for the Physical
Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE).
C. Authority
This program is authorized by Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C.
1437g) (1937 Act). Funding for this program is provided by the Full-Year Continuing
Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (Public Law 119-4 enacted March 15, 2025).
Grants awarded under this program are subject to Public Housing Capital Fund Program
regulations (24 CFR Part 905) including relocation requirements (24 CFR Part 905, Subparts
B and C). Temporary relocation of residents must also be carried out in compliance with all
applicable fair housing and nondiscrimination requirements at 24 CFR 5.105 and 24 CFR
Part 5, Subpart L.
D. Unallowable Costs
You must use funds for activities covered under Budget Line Item (BLI) 1480 (General Capital
Fund Activities). Activities associated with other BLIs are unallowable, including but not
limited to BLI 1410 (Administrative Costs), BLI 1408 (Management Improvements), and BLI
1406 (Transfer to Operations). See Section II.A.2, Restrictions, and 24 CFR 905 for additional
information on eligible costs and activities.
E. Indirect Costs
If you expect to charge indirect costs to the award, submit the Indirect Cost Rate Certification
form (HUD-426) with your application.

V. APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION
A. Threshold Review
HUD reviews each application to make sure it meets the following threshold requirements. If
you meet all threshold requirements, your application will advance to a merit review. If you fail
to meet one or more threshold requirements, your application is not eligible for HUD funding.
1. Eligible Applicant
You must meet the applicant eligibility criteria in this NOFO. Applications from ineligible
applicants are not rated or ranked and will not receive HUD funding.
2. Resolution of Civil Rights Matters
Applicants with outstanding, unresolved judgments against them for violations of civil rights
laws must resolve those judgments before the application submission deadline or the
applicant will be deemed ineligible.
a. An applicant is ineligible for funding if the applicant has received notice of a judgment
imposed against them for violations of:
1. the Fair Housing Act or a substantially equivalent state or local fair housing law for
discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability or familial
status; or
2. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
Section 109 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, or the Violence Against Women Act or substantially equivalent
state or local laws.
b. HUD will determine if actions to resolve the judgment taken before the application deadline
date will resolve the matter. Examples of actions that may be sufficient to resolve the matter
include, but are not limited to:
1. Current compliance with a voluntary compliance agreement signed by all the parties;
2. Current compliance with a HUD-approved conciliation agreement signed by all the
parties;
3. Current compliance with a conciliation agreement signed by all the parties and
approved by the state governmental or local administrative agency with jurisdiction
over the matter;
4. Current compliance with a consent order or consent decree; or
5. Current compliance with a final judicial ruling or administrative ruling or decision.
3. Timely Submission of Applications
Late applications are not eligible for funding. See deadlines in Section VI of this NOFO.

HUD expects to evaluate and score your application using the following merit criteria and process.
Merit reviewers evaluate and score all applications that pass the threshold review. Merit reviewers
may include Federal and non-Federal persons. Reviewers receive a copy of your application to
evaluate and score each application separately.
Merit Review Summary
Merit Review Process.
1. Each eligible application is evaluated and scored by two independent reviewers based solely
on the rating factors described in section V.B.1 of this NOFO.
2. A final panel will review the independent evaluations and scores to identify and rectify
inconsistencies between independent reviewers and to ensure the rating accurately reflects
the contents of the application.
3. A final score is assigned to each application based on the scores described in this section and
applications are ranked in score order. The most highly rated applications are recommended
for award selection, subject to the amount of available funding, in accordance with the
allocation of funds described in section I of this NOFO.
4. Tied Scores. If two or more applications have the same score and there are insufficient funds
to fund all of them, HUD will rank higher the application(s) with the highest score for Rating
Factor 1,‘Need.’ If a tie remains, then HUD will rank higher the application(s) with the highest
score for the ‘Percentage of Portfolio Impacted' rating factor. For any further tied scores, HUD
will rank higher the application(s) with the highest overall score for Rating Factor 2,
‘Soundness of Approach & Cost Estimate.’
5. HUD may use the results of the risk review to make funding decisions and to apply award
conditions.
1. Rating Factors
Your application must include a response to the following criteria.
This NOFO includes the application process for two separate focus areas — LBP and HRH.
PHAs submitting applications for LBP will be scored based on rating criteria that are different
from PHAs submitting applications for HRH. PHAs applying for both LBP and HRH must fulfill
the requirements for each grant type separately per the submission guidelines. The rating
and rankings for HRH and LBP are determined separately.
You should be certain that each rating factor is adequately responded to in your application
and that all applicable information requested by the NOFO is provided. If the response to a
specific rating factor cites information provided in the response to another factor, clearly
indicate where the information is located so the information can be easily located by the
reviewer. To be awarded full points for each rating factor, you must provide comprehensive,
high-quality responses to each of the requested items in each factor.

deadline. HUD will draw property age and occupancy information from the IMS/PIC or
successor system based on the information submitted in the 50058 Module and based on the
IMS/PIC Development(s)/AMP specified(s) on form HUD-50075.1. Properties that are missing
construction dates in PIC will be scored assuming a construction date equal to the date of this
NOFO publication. If you have incorrect, incomplete, or missing construction dates you must
work with your assigned HUD Public Housing Field Office to update the IMS/PIC prior to the
application deadline.
For applications that include multiple IMS/PIC Developments/AMPs, HUD will do a weighted
average of each development/AMP, weighted by the number of units, and use the average

HUD may use the results of the risk review to make funding decisions and to apply award
conditions.
D. Selection Process
When making funding decisions, HUD will consider:
• Eligibility requirements, including threshold review results.
• Merit review results.
• Risk review results.
To the extent allowed by law, HUD may:
• Fund applications in whole or in part.
• Fund applications at a lower amount than requested.
• Choose to fund no applications under this NOFO.
• Adjust funding for an application, to ensure funding or geographic dispersion, and
alignment with program or administrative priorities.
• Withdraw an award offer and make an offer of funding to another eligible application, if
terms and conditions are not finalized or met.
• Use additional funds made available after NOFO publication to either fully fund an
application or fund additional applications.
• Correct HUD review and selection errors. If HUD commits an error that causes an
applicant not to be selected, HUD may make an award to that applicant when and if
funding is available.
• Release another NOFO, if funding is available and if HUD does not receive
applications of merit.
E. Award Notices
If you are successful, HUD will email an award notice to the authorized official representative
from the SF-424. HUD will also notify unsuccessful applicants.
The award notice communicates the amount of the award, important dates, and the terms
and conditions you need to follow. HUD may impose specific conditions on an award as
provided under 2 CFR 200.208.
You agree to the award terms and conditions by either drawing funds from HUD’s payment
system or signing the agreement with HUD. If you do not agree to the award terms and
conditions, HUD may select another eligible applicant.
HUD reserves the right to negotiate the award terms and conditions, including payment
terms, prior to executing an award.

VI. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND DEADLINES
You must apply electronically. See Find the Application Package to make sure you have
everything you need to apply online. See Application Waiver if you qualify to submit a paper
application.
Make sure you are current with SAM.gov and UEI requirements before applying for the
award. See the Before You Begin section of this NOFO.
A. Deadlines
1. Application submission deadline:
The application deadline is 11:59:59 PM Eastern time on:
05/04/2026
HUD must receive your application by the deadline. Applications received after the deadline
are late. Late applications are not eligible for HUD funding.
If HUD receives more than one application from you, HUD will review only the last
submission.
HUD may extend an application due date based on emergency situations such as
Presidentially-declared natural disasters. Improper or expired registration and password
issues are not causes to allow HUD to accept applications after the deadline date.
If you find a need to change your submitted application, and it is prior to the deadline date,
you must resubmit the entire application (not just the change) to ensure that HUD receives a
complete application.
2. Grace Period for Grants.gov Submissions
If Grants.gov rejects your application before the deadline, you have up to 24 hours after the
application deadline to correct and resubmit your application. Any application submitted
during the grace period but not received and validated by Grants.gov will not be considered
for funding. There is no grace period for paper applications.
B. Submission Methods
1. Electronic Submission
You must register and submit your application through Grants.gov. See Before You Begin.
For instructions on how to submit in Grants.gov, see the Quick Start Guide for Applicants.
Make sure that your application passes the Grants.gov validation checks or we may not get it.
Grants.gov will record the date and time of your application submission. HUD will use this
information to determine timely applications.
Need Help? See the Contact and Support section of this NOFO.
2. Electronic Submission Application Waiver
You may request a waiver from the requirement to submit your application electronically. The
request must show good cause and detail why you are technologically unable to submit

disruption in the area of your business office. Lack of SAM.gov registration is not good cause.
Use the information in the Contact and Support section of this NOFO to submit a written
request to HUD. You must submit your waiver request at least 15 calendar days before
the application deadline.
C. Other Submissions
1. Intergovernmental Review
This NOFO is not subject to Executive Order 12372. No action is needed.
2. Technical Application Errors
HUD may contact you to fix a technical error with your timely application after the due date.
Technical errors that you may fix are not submitted to satisfy merit review criteria. And you
may not fix technical errors related to threshold review except eligibility entity documentation.
Examples of technical errors include: inconsistencies in funding requests; improper signature
on a form; a missing or incomplete form; and nonprofit status documentation.
HUD will send notice to the authorized organization representative from the SF-424 to fix a
technical error.
Your application is not eligible for funding, if you fail to fix the error to HUD’s satisfaction and
by the due date in HUD’s notice. HUD will not review information submitted after the
application due date in HUD’s notice.
a. Fix Errors in Electronic Applications
To fix an error in response to a HUD notice, you must email the corrections to HUD at
applicationsupport@hud.gov. The subject line of the email to applicationsupport@hud.gov
must state “Technical Fix” and include the Grants.gov application tracking number (e.g.,
Subject: Technical Fix - GRANT123456). If you do not email applicationsupport@hud.gov or
if you do not include the appropriate subject line, HUD may mark your application as
ineligible.
HUD allows no less than 48 hours and no more than 14 calendar days from the date of the
HUD notice to fix an error. If the due date to fix an error falls on a Saturday, Sunday, Federal
holiday, or on a day when HUD’s Headquarters office in Washington, DC is closed, then the
due date is the next business day.
b. Fix Errors in Paper Applications
You must fix an error in your paper application, in accordance with HUD’s notice. If your
paper application includes an incorrect UEI, HUD will request you supply the correct UEI.
D. False Statements
By submitting an application, you acknowledge your understanding that providing false or
misleading information during any part of the application, award, or performance phase of an
award may result in criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including but not limited to:
fines, restitution, and/or imprisonment under 18 USC 1001, 18 USC 1012, 18 USC 1010, 18
USC 1014, or 18 USC 287; treble damages and civil penalties under the False Claims Act, 31

B. Environmental Requirements
1. Environmental Review
You must follow these environmental review requirements, including regulations at:
24 CFR part 58
In compliance with the applicable appropriations Acts and the federal requirements applicable
to all Capital Fund activities at 24 CFR 905.308 including environmental review requirements
at 24 CFR 905.308(b)(2), all activities under this NOFO are subject to an environmental
review by a responsible entity under HUD's environmental regulations at 24 CFR part 58 and
must comply with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and the related laws and authorities listed at 24 CFR 58.5.
HUD may make a finding in accordance with 24 CFR 58.11 and may perform the
environmental review itself under the provisions of 24 CFR part 50. In those cases where
HUD performs the environmental review under 24 CFR part 50, it will do so before approving
a proposed project and will comply with the requirements of NEPA and the related
requirements at 24 CFR 50.4. A PHA and its contractors may not commit or expend program
or non-HUD funds for activities under this NOFO until one of the following occurs: (i) The
responsible entity has completed the environmental review procedures required by 24 CFR
part 58, and HUD has approved the environmental certification and authorized a release of
funds; (ii) The responsible entity has determined that the activities are exempt under 24 CFR
58.34 or are categorically excluded and not subject to compliance with environmental laws
under 24 CFR 58.35(b); or (iii) HUD has performed an environmental review under 24 CFR
part 50 and has notified the PHA in writing of environmental approval of the activities.
2. NOFO Impact Determination Related to the Environment
This NOFO provides funding under, and does not alter the environmental requirements of, 24
CFR 905. So, under 24 CFR 50.19(c)(5)(i), this NOFO is categorically excluded from
environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act of1969 (42 USC § 4321).
Activities under the NOFO are subject to environmental review requirements at 24 CFR
905.308(b)2.
3. Lead-Based Paint Requirements
You must follow the lead-based paint rules below if you fund any work on pre-1978 housing.
This includes buying, leasing, support services, operating, or work that disturbs painted
surfaces.
• HUD’s rules (Lead Disclosure Rule; and Lead Safe Housing Rule).
• EPA’s rules (Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, and Lead Abatement, Inspection
and Risk Assessment Rule).
You must discuss the Lead Disclosure Rule if you fund education or counseling on buying or
renting housing that may have been built before 1978. You must also discuss the Lead Safe
Housing Rule if the education or counseling focuses on buying or renting HUD-assisted pre-
1978 housing.

and financial activities (including vendor and cash disbursement supporting details for
yourself and your sub-recipients) using these new tools when they are released. HUD will
