The purpose of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control (LHC) grant program is to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned housing for rental or owner-occupants. The Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant program is the largest program in terms of dollar amount and number of grants. The Notice of Funding Availability is published online.

Who may apply

Only States, Native American Tribes and local governments are eligible to apply to HUD under this program. The maximum amount of grant money an applicant can request is 3 million dollars. About 30 grants are awarded each year.

Property owners of eligible housing may qualify for federal assistance to identify and control lead-based paint hazards. Check with the local lead hazard control grant program in your area for more details.

How to apply

Each funding opportunity will be announced on HUD's web site. Potential applicants must register with Grants.gov—please make sure you allow ample time for the registration process. You will download the Application Package and the Instructions. The Instructions contain required forms that are not available as part of the application package. All Application materials are included in the published NOFA. Electronic submission is mandatory unless the applicant receives a waiver of this regulatory requirement. Previous year NOFAs are available in HUD's archives.

What the applicants should know

This program requires a statutory match requirement from non-federal sources of 10 percent of the requested federal funds. States, Native American Tribes and local governments with previous experience in managing similar or related grant programs/projects and demonstrated organizational capacities may apply. Applicants are highly encouraged to build partnerships with health and housing agencies and faith based and community based organizations to implement the grant. Review of state consolidated plan may provide valuable information on the need for lead hazard control activities in the applicant's jurisdiction.
