HUD has awarded over $125 million to 26 state and local government agencies to protect children and families from lead-based paint hazards and other home health hazards. These grants will be provided through HUD's Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program to identify and clean up dangerous lead in low-income families' older homes. These grants include over $13 million from HUD's Healthy Homes Supplemental funding to help communities address homes with housing-related health and safety hazards in addition to lead-based paint hazards. These investments will protect families and children by targeting significant lead and health hazards in over 4,000 low-income homes for which other resources are not available.
