AI Contract Overview
The Healthy Homes Production Program, part of HUD’s longstanding Healthy Homes Initiative, aims to comprehensively address multiple housing-related environmental health and safety hazards that contribute to childhood diseases and injuries. This program expands beyond lead hazard control to include various high-priority hazards in privately owned, low-income rental and owner-occupied housing, especially targeting residences with families having children, older adults, or persons with disabilities. The program focuses on maximizing the number of vulnerable residents protected and the number of housing units remediated, while promoting cost-effective, replicable approaches. Key objectives include supporting public education and outreach, building local capacity for sustainable program operations, and integrating efforts with related housing rehabilitation, property maintenance, and energy efficiency initiatives. The program emphasizes collaboration between health and housing agencies, data sharing, and resource building for hazard identification and control. It also prioritizes directing economic opportunities such as job training and contracting to low-income individuals and businesses in the project area, consistent with regulatory guidelines. This grant opportunity is managed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with further information available through the provided contact.

Full Description
The Healthy Homes Production Program (HHP) is part of HUD’s overall Healthy Homes Initiative launched in 1999. The program takes a comprehensive approach to addressing multiple childhood diseases and injuries in the home by focusing on housing-related hazards in a coordinated fashion, rather than addressing a single hazard at a time. The program builds upon HUD’s successful Lead Hazard Control programs to expand the Department’s efforts to address a variety of high-priority environmental health and safety hazards. Applicants receiving a Healthy Homes Production award under this NOFO will be expected to accomplish the following objectives:
a. Maximize both the number of vulnerable residents protected from housing-related environmental health and safety hazards and the number of housing units where these hazards are controlled;
b. Identify and remediate housing-related health and safety hazards in privately owned, low-income rental and/or owner-occupied housing, especially in units and/or buildings where families with children, older adults 62 years and older, or families with persons with disabilities reside;
c. Promote cost-effective and efficient healthy home methods and approaches that can be replicated and sustained;
d. Support public education and outreach that furthers the goal of protecting children and other vulnerable populations from housing-related health and safety hazards;
e. Build local capacity to operate sustainable programs that will prevent and control housing-related environmental health and safety hazards in low- and very low-income residences, and develop a professional workforce that is trained in healthy homes assessment and principles;
f. Promote integration of this grant program with housing rehabilitation, property maintenance, weatherization, healthy homes initiatives, local lead-based paint hazard control programs, health and safety programs, and energy efficiency improvement activities and programs;
g. Build and enhance partner resources to develop the most cost-effective methods for identifying and controlling key housing-related environmental health and safety hazards;
h. Promote collaboration, data sharing, and targeting between health and housing departments;
i. Ensure to the greatest extent feasible that job training, employment, contracting, and other economic opportunities generated by this grant will be directed to low- and very-low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to businesses that provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons in the area in which the project is located.
