  Eligible Activities

  The $65 million is available to address housing hazards, including lead-based paint. You may focus your application in one or both areas.
  1. General Housing-Related Hazards (HRH): Supports applications that evaluate and reduce housing-related hazards including mold, radon, carbon monoxide, and fire safety hazards in public housing.
  2. Lead-Based Paint (LPB): No less than $25 million of the $65 million is available for applications that propose to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards specifically by carrying out the activities of lead-based risk assessments, inspections, abatement, interim controls, clearance examinations, and relocation. In the event there are not enough eligible applications to award $25 million, any remaining amounts may be awarded to eligible applications focused on HRH.
