Application for HUD Healthy Homes Program Funding
The Housing Department plans to develop a Healthy Homes Initiative that will be
administered in conjunction with the proposed continuation of the Lead Hazard
Control Program. This program will take 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. This program will incorporate meaningful community
participation by partnering with other health outcome partners, community based
organizations, and private foundations.
This application is for the Healthy Homes Production Program, totaling
$1,000,000, to be administered by the Health Services and Housing and
Community Development Departments. The application addresses
environmental health and safety hazards in at- risk target housing for a 36 month
program in target areas in the City of Dubuque.
The action requested of the City Council is to approve the attached resolution
authorizing an application for the Healthy Homes Production Program funds in
the amount of $1 million.
