Last week HUD announced $330 million in grants to clean up lead-based paint hazards and other housing-related health and safety hazards. HUD’s grants will direct funds to qualifying cities, counties, states and Native American tribal governments to eliminate dangerous lead paint hazards. The grants will be available through two programs: $324 million for the Lead Hazard Reduction program which aims to maximize the number of children under the age of six who are protected from lead poisoning; and $12 million for the Healthy Homes Production for Tribal Housing program that assists American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments to remediate housing issues that contribute to health and safety issues.
