Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program

This listing is comprised of two components: (1) the Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund program (LBP) and Housing-Related Hazards (HRH) Capital Fund program, referred to jointly as the LBP and HRH Capital Fund program; and (2) the Capital Improvements for At-Risk/ Receivership/ Substandard/ Troubled program (At-Risk program). Competitive grants are provided for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) for the modernization of public housing developments, with a focus on housing-related health and safety hazards that may contribute to illness, injury or other adverse health outcomes for public housing residents. 1. LBP and HRH program funds can be used in one or both of the following focus areas: a. Lead-Based Paint Focus: evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards in public housing specifically by carrying out the activities of lead-based risk assessments, inspections, abatement, interim controls, clearance examinations, and relocation. b. General Housing-Related Hazards Focus: evaluate and reduce housing-related hazards including mold, radon, carbon monoxide, and fire safety hazards in public housing. 2. Capital Fund At-Risk program funds are for PHAs in receivership, designated troubled or substandard, or otherwise at risk, to support the costs associated with public housing asset improvement.
