OpportunityTitle: LEAD HAZARD REDUCTION DEMONSTRATION GRANT PROGRAM
CategoryExplanation: This modification is a technical correction to the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for HUD&apos;s FY2010 Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration (LHRD) Grant Program that corrects Appendix A of the NOFA and form HUD 96009, and sets two new deadline dates.  Appendix A of the NOFA inadvertently omitted three jurisdictions eligible to apply for the program (Syracuse, NY; Westchester County, NY; San Antonio, TX) and inadvertently included other jurisdictions that are ineligible for the program.  HUD has corrected Appendix A and established November 4 as the deadline for the three jurisdictions above to submit an application and October 13 as the deadline for them to submit a match waiver request.  HUD is extending to October 22 the deadline for the submission of LHRD applications by other jurisdictions unaffected by the error in Appendix A.  For jurisdictions eligible under the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program NOFA, there is no change to the deadline date for submission and timely receipt. Form HUD 96009 was posted as a 36-month benchmark form but it should have been the 42-month LHRD benchmark form; HUD has corrected the benchmark form HUD 96009.  IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU FULLY REVIEW THE DEADLINE DATES.  Please read the technical correction in file LHRDemo TC - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf, and use the corrected form HUD 96009, both files are in the new instructions for applying for this grant opportunity.
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: To be eligible to apply for funding under this NOFA, you must be a Native American Tribe, state, city, county/parish, or other unit of local government.  Multiple units of a local government (or multiple local governments) may apply as a consortium; however, a principal (lead) applicant must be identified that will be responsible for ensuring compliance with all requirements specified in this NOFA.  State government and Native American tribal applicants must have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authorized lead-based paint training and certification program. 2.  If you are a housing agency, community development corporation or redevelopment authority, or any other entity that is not the executive office or a department of a Native American Tribe, state, city, county/parish, or other unit of local government, you must identify the government of which you are a part, and submit for review the specific statutory and other documents to demonstrate that you are a part of that government, rather than a separate entity.  A document publicly posted on the Internet (i.e., without a password or encryption) may be submitted by providing the title and the web address (URL) in place of a scanned version of the document.  3.  Existing Grantees with Performance Deficiencies.  In order to receive an award under this NOFA competition, an existing grantee applicant must not have received a &#147;Red&#148; Performance designation for any active grant from the OHHLHC that included its being behind schedule in meeting the OHHLHC&#146;s standard Performance benchmarks for either housing unit production or funds expenditure for both of the last two consecutive reporting periods before the application deadline.  If such an applicant is selected for an award, an award will not be made to that applicant unless the Performance deficiency is corrected by you achieving a &#147;Yellow&#148; or &#147;Green&#148; Performance designation and meeting the OHHLHC&#146;s standard benchmarks for both housing unit production and funds expenditure.  If you fail to correct the Performance deficiency within three months after selection, HUD may cancel the award and then offer an award to, and negotiate with, the next highest-ranking qualified applicant not selected.4.  If you received an award under the FY 2009 NOFA cycle for any of the programs in this NOFA, you are not eligible to apply, unless you received partial funding.  Applicants partially funded for any program in FY2009 may apply for funds under this NOFA.   However, applicants who received funding under the Fiscal Year 2009 Lead Hazard Control Capacity Building Grant Program are eligible to apply and will be considered a &#147;new applicant.&#148;
Description: The overarching purpose of the Lead Based Paint Hazard Control Program and the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program is to assist states, Native American Tribes, cities, counties/parishes, or other units of local government in undertaking comprehensive programs to identify and control lead-based paint hazards in eligible privately owned rental or owner-occupied housing, with the exception that the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Program is targeted for urban jurisdictions with the greatest lead-based paint hazard control needs.
