HUD AWARDS OVER $9 MILLION TO MAKE HOUSING SAFER FOR TRIBAL COMMUNITIES

摘要

HUD has awarded over $9 million in Healthy Homes Production grants to 12 tribes and tribal agencies to protect children and families from home health and safety hazards. Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing conditions can be improved by addressing factors such as lead paint, indoor air quality and ventilation, heating devices, and moisture damage. This grant funding will assist and protect families by targeting health hazards in the homes of 630 low-income families where significant home health and safety hazards exist. The Healthy Homes Production grant program has a history of success, filling critical needs in communities where no other resources exist to address substandard housing that threatens the health of the most vulnerable residents.
