RE: Application for HUD Lead Paint Hazard Control Program Funding
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's approval of an
application to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for
$2,500,000 for continuation of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program
throughout the City of Dubuque. An additional $400,000 in supplement funding for
Healthy Homes interventions will also be requested.
Since January 1992, the City of Dubuque has addressed childhood lead poisoning, first
in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), and then by
conducting its own Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP). In 1997,
Dubuque was awarded a Round 4 HUD Lead Paint Hazard Control Program Grant in
the amount of $3.69 million; in 2003, a Round 11 HUD grant, in the amount of $2.4
million; and a Round 14 grant of $2.98 million in 2007, for a combined total of $9.09
million. To date, 1,180 properties occupied by very low to moderate-income families
have been made lead safe. The current Lead Hazard Control Program is on track to
complete an additional 129 units by the end of its performance period, November 15,
2018. This program has initiated many cost-effective measures to prevent and
eliminate childhood lead poisoning in Dubuque and has built local capacity through
extensive public education efforts.
DISCUSSION
This application is for a Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program totaling $2,900,000
to be submitted and administered by the Health Services and Housing and Community
Development Departments. The application will include a request for $2,500,000 in lead
hazard control dollars and $400,000 in healthy homes supplemental funds. This new
funding will be utilized to address the larger historic homes that require high dollar
remediations.
If funded, the staffing for the new Program would be to hire one Program
Coordinator/Manager, one Lead/Healthy Homes Inspector, and a half-time Lead
Assistant. The goal would be a blended staff mix with the current Lead Program staff to
ensure a smooth transition and reduced learning curve.
HUD's goal is to have these grants awarded and begun by July 1 , 2017. Thus the
projected performance period would be July 1 , 2017 through June 30, 2020. As
required match, $150,000 in CDBG funds will be committed as part of the Council's
approval of the application. The funds will be expended during fiscal years 2018- 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council approve the submission of a Lead-Based Paint
Hazard Control Program application to HUD.
ACTION STEP
The action requested of the City is to approve the attached resolution authorizing an
application for the Lead Hazard Control/Healthy Homes Program funds for $2,500,000
lead hazard control and $400,000 healthy homes. This application is due to HUD
March 23, 2017.
