The Program Management and Assurance Division (PMAD) oversees the OHHLHC's lead-based paint grant programs. Our goal is to eliminate childhood lead poisoning by controlling lead-based paint hazards in privately owned housing. The Notice of Funding Availability is published online.

Lead paint hazards are created when lead-based paint peels, flakes, chips, chalks, or creates leaded dust when painted surfaces, like windows, rub against each other. Since 1993, OHHLHC's lead hazard control grants have reduced or eliminated lead paint hazards in thousands of privately owned homes where young children live. PMAD also supports efforts to educate the public about the dangers of lead-based paint and to develop better methods of lead paint identification and control. PMAD directs five grant programs within OHHLHC:

Lead-based Paint Hazard Control Program (LHC)

The LHC Grant Program assists States, Native American Tribes and local governments in creating wide-ranging programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing. Each year the OHHLHC awards roughly 30 grants of up to $3M per grant. Applicants must provide a 10% match (non-federal sources) to participate.

Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Program (LHRD)

The LHRD Grant Program assists States, Native American Tribes and local governments with high numbers of rental units built in 1940 or earlier in creating wide-ranging programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing. Each year the OHHLHC awards roughly 12 grants of up to $4M per grant.

Operation Lead Elimination Action Program (LEAP)

The LEAP Grant Program assists private sector, non-profit and for-profit organizations (provided no fees are charged for services) in creating wide-ranging programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing by leveraging private sector funding. Each year the OHHLHC awards roughly 6 grants of up to $2M per grant. Applicants are not required to provide a match to participate, but are evaluated (in part) on the amount of leveraged funds from private sector sources that are dedicated to the applicant's proposal.

Lead Outreach Program (LOR)

The LOR Grant Program assists academic institutions, non-profit and for-profit organizations (provided no fees are charged for services), States, Native American Tribes and local governments to raise public awareness of childhood lead poisoning prevention, provide training and education, and provide technical assistance to grantees participating in OHHLHC's lead grant programs. Each year the OHHLHC awards roughly 4 grants of up to $500,000 per grant. Applicants must provide a 10% match (non-federal) to participate.

Lead Technical Studies Program (LTS)

The LTS Grant Program assists academic institutions, non-profit and for-profit organizations (provided no fees are charged for services), States, Native American Tribes and local governments to conduct research to gain knowledge on improving the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of methods for evaluation and control of residential lead-based paint hazards. Each year the OHHLHC awards roughly 5 grants of up to $1M per grant. Applicants are not required to provide a match to participate.
