Lead-Safe and Healthy Homes Financing Demonstration

This program supports the creation of a National Lead-Safe and Healthy Homes Financing Fund to help communities reduce residential lead hazards and prevent childhood lead poisoning. Through this initiative, HUD will select a National Fund Manager to raise and combine public and private funding and make those resources available to local organizations working to make homes safer and healthier, particularly for low- and moderate-income families. The program serves community development organizations, local governments, housing providers, and other partners that assist homeowners and landlords in addressing lead-based paint and related housing health hazards. By leveraging private sector investment alongside federal funds, this initiative expands the resources available for lead hazard control beyond traditional grant programs.
