ACTION REQUEST
Approve the submission of the Lead Hazard Reduction Grant proposal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development by the Community Development Department to provide funding for lead based paint remediation activities through the Housing Rehabilitation/Reconstruction Program.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
The purpose of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction (LHR) grant program is to maximize the number of children, under the age of six, protected from lead poisoning by assisting states, cities, counties/parishes, Native American Tribes or other units of local government in undertaking comprehensive programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately-owned rental or owner-occupied housing populations. In addition, there is Healthy Homes Supplemental funding available that is intended to enhance the lead based paint hazard control activities by comprehensively identifying and addressing other housing hazards that affect occupant health.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Community Development Department that the City of Texas City apply for funds under HUD's Lead Hazard Reduction Grant to assist with the rehabilitation of low to moderate-income owner-occupied single family homes built prior to 1978 in Texas City through the Housing Rehabilitation/Reconstruction Program.
