BALTIMORE WINS $4 MILLION GRANT FOR LEAD PAINT ABATEMENT
Tuesday, 08/25/2015 --- Baltimore City has won a $ 4 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to do lead abatement (lead removal) work on 230 homes as well as removal of other environmental health hazards from an additional 115 homes.
Nationwide, this and other HUD grants will pay for lead abatement and other environmental health hazards removal on nearly 3,200 low-income houses around the country.
Lead paint, banned for sale in Baltimore for residential purposes in 1950 and elsewhere in the U.S. in 1978, have remained a serious health problem in the city. Abatement efforts have reduced the number of lead poisoning cases in Baltimore by more than 90 % since the mid-1990s, according to officials. However, four years ago (2011) the city lost HUD funding for mismanagement of the HUD lead abatement grant money. HUD states that the city failed to use the money to repair enough homes.
