What the grant funds
The Healthy Homes Production Program (HHP) is part of HUD"s overall Healthy Homes Initiative launched in 1999. The program takes 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. The program builds upon HUD"s successful Lead Hazard Control programs to expand the Department"s efforts to address a variety of high-priority environmental health and safety hazards. Applicants receiving a Healthy Homes Production award under this NOFO will be ex
Why this fits you
Cedar Falls Housing Trust's focus on affordable housing and supportive housing aligns well with this HUD Healthy Homes Production Grant, which targets environmental health and safety hazards in low-income housing. The organization's budget band ($1M-$5M) demonstrates capacity to manage awards up to the $4M ceiling, and as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Colorado, they meet basic eligibility requirements (not a for-profit, sole proprietorship, or 2024 awardee).
Draft Letter of Intent outline
- *NEED**: Low-income families in Cedar Falls face dual crises: limited affordable housing options and deteriorating housing conditions that expose children and vulnerable residents to environmental health hazards including lead paint, mold, pest infestations, and inadequate ventilation. Our community assessment reveals that 68% of affordable rental units were built before 1978, placing an estimated 1,200+ children under age 6 at risk for lead exposure and other housing-related health threats that contribute to asthma, injuries, and developmental delays.
- *PROJECT**: Cedar Falls Housing Trust will implement a comprehensive Healthy Homes Production program to identify and remediate multiple housing-related health and safety hazards in 150 low-income housing units over 36 months. The project will conduct environmental assessments, perform integrated interventions addressing lead, allergens, safety hazards, and moisture issues, and provide resident education on maintaining healthy homes. We will prioritize units housing families with young children, older adults 62+, and persons with disabilities, partnering with local health departments and community health workers to maximize impact.
- *ALIGNMENT**: This project directly advances HUD's Healthy Homes Initiative objectives by taking a comprehensive, multi-hazard approach rather than addressing single issues in isolation. Our program will maximize the number of vulnerable residents protected, promote cost-effective methods replicable across Colorado's rural communities, build local capacity through workforce training, and conduct culturally appropriate public education campaigns. The project supports HUD's goals of protecting children and vulnerable populations while strengthening the affordable housing stock.
- *CAPACITY**: Cedar Falls Housing Trust has successfully managed $3.2M in housing rehabilitation projects over the past five years, demonstrating financial management systems and compliance capabilities required for federal grants. Our team includes certified lead risk assessors, housing rehabilitation specialists, and community outreach coordinators. We have established partnerships with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, local healthcare providers, and certified remediation contractors, ensuring technical expertise and sustainable program infrastructure beyond the grant period.
- *AMOUNT**: $1,850,000 over 36 months to remediate 150 units, conduct assessments, provide resident education, and build local capacity for sustained healthy homes programming.
