Title of Proposal: Collection of Information from HUD Lead Hazard
[[Page 57106]]
Control Grantees Regarding Their Use of Healthy Homes Supplemental
Funding.
OMB Control Number: To be assigned.
Need for the Information and Proposed Use: HUD is interested in
collecting information on the use of supplemental Healthy Homes Program
funds by HUD Lead Hazard Control (LHC) Program grantees. LHC applicants
have been eligible to receive supplemental funding to support modest
``healthy homes'' interventions in target housing starting in FY 2009.
The Healthy Homes Program funds can be used by the grantees to mitigate
priority health and safety hazards that cannot be addressed using Lead
Hazard Control Program grant funds. Individual grantees were eligible
to receive the following amounts of supplemental funds in the four
fiscal years that the supplemental funds have been offered: $75,000 per
grantee in FY 2009; $100,000 in FY 2010; $150,000 in FY 2011, and
$200,000 in FY 2012. In FY 2011 and FY 2012, grantees were required to
use the Healthy Homes Rating System (HHRS) to identify the residential
hazards to be addressed. Approximately 80 grantees have received the
healthy homes supplement during the period in which the funds have been
offered.
Grantees will be asked the following:
a. How the LHC grantees have been using the healthy homes
supplemental funds, and their experience using the HHRS assessment
tool.
b. To identify effective healthy homes practices that can be
summarized and made available to other programs through the development
of case studies, etc.
Agency Form Numbers: None.
Members of Affected Public: HUD Office of Healthy Homes and Lead
Hazard Control's Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control grantees, and the
grantees' contractors, where applicable.
