Housing-Related Hazards and Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program Grant

The Housing-Related Hazards and Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program aims to mitigate health hazards in public housing, including lead-based paint and other risks. With $65 million allocated for competitive grants, at least $25 million is specifically designated for lead hazard evaluations and remediation activities. Applicants can apply for either or both programs through a single application, and funding will be awarded based on competitive scoring of applications. This initiative enhances safety and health in residential settings.

This NOFO solicits applications for the Housing-Related Hazards (HRH) Capital Fund Program and the Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Capital Fund Program, referred to jointly as the HRH and LBP Capital Fund Program. The purpose of the HRH and LBP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to evaluate and reduce residential health hazards in public housing, including lead-based paint, carbon monoxide, mold, radon, and fire safety. In the event there are not enough eligible applications to award $25 million in competitive grants to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards, any remaining amounts may be awarded to qualified applicants for evaluating and reducing housing-related hazards. While applicants may choose to apply for HRH or LBP only, this combined NOFO allows applicants to apply for both HRH and LBP by submitting one application following the specific rules and instructions for each. Applications will be competitively scored based on the unique rating factors for each individual program and funding may be awarded, fully or partially, under one program, both, or neither based on the rating, ranking, and funding available under each program. If the applicant is applying for funding under both grant programs, the rating and rankings will be determined separately.
