About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs HUD Lead Hazard Reduction Grant (DHCD-administered) in its Washington, DC research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

HUD's Lead Hazard Reduction grant program funds local governments to reduce lead-based paint hazards in privately owned homes. In DC, these funds flow through DHCD programs including Lead Safe Washington. Owner-occupied homes built before 1978 with a child under age 6 in residence are the priority. Homeowners access these funds through DHCD and its CBO partners rather than applying to HUD directly.

Typical lead hazard control work costs $3,000-$15,000; estimate uses mid-range.
