This Lead Hazard Reduction (LHR) Grant Program is designed to significantly increase the protection of children under six years of age from the dangers of lead poisoning. It offers vital funding and support to states, cities, counties/parishes, Native American Tribes, and other local governmental units. The purpose is to empower these entities to establish and implement comprehensive initiatives focused on identifying, assessing, and controlling lead-based paint hazards. These efforts primarily target eligible privately-owned rental and owner-occupied housing populations. Furthermore, the grant includes Healthy Homes Supplemental funding, which enables grantees to holistically identify and mitigate a broader spectrum of housing hazards. This integrated approach ensures the well-being and improved health outcomes for residents by creating safer living environments.
