Opportunity Information: Apply for FR 6200 N 12TC
The Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction (LHR) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to help local and state governments run broad, practical efforts to find and fix lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing. The central focus is protecting children under age six from lead poisoning by supporting lead hazard identification and control work in both owner-occupied and rental properties. In practice, the program is meant to move beyond one-off lead repairs and instead fund coordinated local programs that can target the highest-risk homes, carry out effective hazard control, and build systems that keep housing safer over time.
A major priority is maximizing impact: applicants are expected to protect as many young children as possible and control hazards in as many housing units as feasible with the funds awarded. The program strongly emphasizes targeting older housing, especially pre-1960 homes, because these properties are more likely to contain lead-based paint and have a higher risk of deteriorated paint and contaminated dust. HUD also highlights that children living in low-income and minority neighborhoods have historically been disproportionately affected, so grantees are expected to direct work toward those communities where risk and need are greatest in order to reduce elevated blood lead levels and the health burdens associated with lead exposure.
HUD also expects funded projects to use cost-effective, durable lead hazard control approaches that protect residents long-term, not just temporarily. Alongside the physical work of making units lead-safe, the grant is intended to strengthen local capacity by ensuring lead hazard control, renovation, remodeling, and maintenance activities are carried out safely by properly trained and certified workers. That means applicants should be prepared to show how they will support compliant work practices, workforce readiness, and quality control so lead hazards are addressed without creating new exposure risks during construction or repair activities.
Another core element is integration and partnership. The program encourages community-based approaches that connect lead hazard reduction to other local health and housing initiatives, including partnerships with public agencies and private or nonprofit organizations serving low-income families with young children. HUD also places explicit weight on civil rights and equity responsibilities, requiring grantees to affirmatively further fair housing and advance environmental justice. This is not framed as optional; the notice makes clear that affirmatively furthering fair housing is a civil-rights-related program requirement in addition to being a program objective.
The opportunity also pushes applicants toward stronger coordination between housing and health systems. Grantees are expected to establish data sharing and joint targeting between health and housing departments, including reporting on specified health-related data elements for enrolled households and, in some cases, for the broader target area population. Examples referenced include emergency room visits and asthma incidence, reflecting an expectation that communities will track health and housing outcomes and use data to better target interventions and demonstrate public health benefit.
Longer-term occupancy outcomes matter as well. HUD requires a detailed monitoring process to make sure units that become lead-safe are affirmatively marketed and that families with children under six receive priority access for up to three years. This is intended to ensure that the households most vulnerable to lead exposure actually benefit from the improved units, rather than having the upgraded housing shift to occupants who are at lower risk. In addition, the program emphasizes economic opportunity requirements: job training, employment, contracting, and related economic benefits produced by the grant should be directed to low- and very-low income residents, particularly people receiving housing assistance, and to businesses that create opportunities for low-income persons in the project area, consistent with 24 CFR 135.
Finally, applicants are expected to collect pre- and post-treatment data to support and validate the lead hazard control investments, reinforcing the program's focus on measurable results and accountability. Grantees must also comply with disability nondiscrimination requirements, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which require programs and activities to be accessible and prohibit discrimination based on disability.
Administratively, this opportunity is a HUD housing grant under CFDA 14.900.
