HUD Grants Total $114 Million for Lead, Household Hazard Cleanup

The Housing Wire (12/5, Scoggin) says that HUD "will provide about $114 million in new grants for lead cleanup and other household hazards." The Wire notes that "much of the grant funds will go toward eliminating lead-based paint from low-income homes, particularly those with young children." Jon Gant of the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control is quoted saying, "these grants will keep HUD at the forefront of the federal effort to eliminate childhood lead poisoning as a public health hazard."
