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 up to
$3,500,000 for continuation of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Program
throughout the City of Dubuque. An additional $600,000 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 lowa 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, 1,255 properties occupied by very lowto 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 public
education efforts.
DISCUSSION
This application is for a Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program totaling up to
$4,100,000 to be submitted and administered by the Health Services and Housing and
Community Development Departments. The application will include a request for
$3,500,000 in lead hazard control dollars and $600,000 in healthy homes supplemental
funds.
If funded, the staffing for the new Program would require one Program
Coordinator/Manager, two Lead/Healthy Homes Inspectors, and a full-time Lead
Assistant.
HUD's goal is to have these grants awarded and starting by September 30, 2018.
Thus, the projected performance period would be November 1, 2018 through April 30,
2022. As required match, $200,000 in CDBG funds will be committed as part of the
Council's approval of the application. The funds will be expended during fiscal years
2019-2022.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council approve the submission of a Lead-Based Paint
Hazard Reduction Program application to HUD.
ACTION STEP
I respectfully request the City Council approval of the attached resolution authorizing an
application for the Lead Hazard Control/Healthy Homes Program funds for up to
$3,500,000 in lead hazard control and $600,000 in healthy homes funds. This
application is due to HUD August 2, 2018.
