HUD Offers $19 Million to Clean Up Hazards in Housing

Funding to include support of local programs to control prevalence of asthma

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced today that it is offering $19.6 million in grants to prevent and correct housing-related health and safety hazards in low-income housing and to support programs for the control of asthma among residents in federally assisted multifamily housing. HUD is making these grants available through its Healthy Homes Production, Asthma Interventions in Public and Assisted Multifamily Housing, Lead Technical Studies, and Healthy Homes Technical Studies grant programs. "The grants we will award under these four programs will enable thousands of families to live in healthier homes, and develop new ways of addressing housing-related hazards," said HUD Deputy Secretary Ron Sims. "More than 6 million families in the U.S. live in homes with moderate to severe physical housing problems, so it's critical that HUD focus on producing homes that are safe and healthy, one of our new programs. Our second new program will reduce asthma triggers in homes." Read the Funding Announcements.
