DISCUSSION:
On May 13, 2014, the United States Department of ousin and Urban Development (HUD) issued a
Notice of Funding Availability for competitive rant funds under the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration
Program (L ) and the Office of Healthy Homes Supplemental Funding Program (HHSF). The purpose
of the LHRD and the HHSF programs is to assist local governments in rti programs to identify
and control lead-based paint hazards in owner-occupied os and privately owned rental
housing. Housing is generally made lead-safe through the use of interim controls, a cost-effective
treatment consisting of encapsulation of lead-paint surfaces and replacement of components such as
doors and windows which have friction surfaces that can create lead dust. The HHSF grant is to be used

in conjunction with the LHRD grant on the same house in order to eliminate health ands t hazards
identified during the lead-based paint inspection. Hazards are defined by the HHSF rating system and
may include uneven flooring surfaces, trip hazards in bathrooms, poor lighting, moisture problems,
exposure to carbon monoxide, fire hazards, excessive heat or cold exposure, exposure to biocides and
non-secured entry ways.
The City's Housing and Economic Development Department received similar LHRD grants in 2002-2005,
2005-2008 and most recently in 2012 for the Lead-Based it Hazard Control Grant Program which
expires in May of 2015. This grant funding under the LHRD Grant Program will expand the City's efforts to
increase the supply of lead-safe housing. This is the first time the it is applying for the HHSF
program. The Housing and Economic Development Department is requesting authorization to apply for a
$2,000,000.00 LHRD grant and a $400,000.00 HHSF grant from HUD. The grant period will be for three
years from the date of the award. Administrative costs for the program are limited to 10 percent of the
grant. The grant requires a minimum 25 percent direct match and Staff proposes that $500,000.00 of the
City's Community Development Block Grant funds be used for this purpose. The use of these funds for
this purpose will be approved in the 2014-2015 Action Plan.
The Housing and Economic Development Department will collaborate with the Tarrant County Public
Health Department, area non-profits, community-based organizations and other entities to ensure that
appropriate outreach is conducted on all at-risk populations and neighborhoods.
The LHRD and HHSF Programs will be available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
receipt of the grant, and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the
