Opportunity Information: Apply for LHC 2600 DC 0044
The Healthy Homes Production Grant Program is a discretionary HUD funding opportunity under CFDA 14.913 that supports hands-on work to make homes safer and healthier for people who are most at risk from housing-related hazards. It sits within HUD's broader Healthy Homes Initiative, which began in 1999, and it is designed around a practical idea: families often face multiple hazards at once (not just one), so programs should assess and fix problems in a coordinated way. The program builds on HUD's long-running Lead Hazard Control efforts, but expands beyond lead to address a wider set of environmental health and safety risks that can contribute to childhood illness, injury, and other serious outcomes in the home.
At its core, the program funds the identification and remediation of health and safety hazards in privately owned housing that serves low-income households, including both low-income rentals and owner-occupied homes. HUD emphasizes prioritizing homes where vulnerable residents live, especially families with children, adults age 62 and older, and households that include persons with disabilities. The overall performance expectation is to protect as many vulnerable residents as possible while also increasing the number of housing units where hazards are actually controlled, meaning the grant is geared toward measurable, on-the-ground results rather than planning alone.
The Notice of Funding Opportunity lays out several major objectives that shape what HUD wants funded projects to deliver. These include using cost-effective healthy homes methods that are efficient, replicable, and sustainable over time; providing public education and outreach to help prevent exposure and injuries (with a strong focus on protecting children and other vulnerable groups); and building local capacity so communities can maintain a durable healthy homes program after the grant period ends. That capacity-building emphasis includes strengthening the local workforce by supporting training in healthy homes assessment and principles, so communities are not dependent on a small number of specialized staff or one-time interventions.
HUD also wants this work integrated into broader housing and community improvement systems instead of being siloed. Applicants are expected to coordinate healthy homes hazard control with existing housing rehabilitation, property maintenance, weatherization, local lead-based paint hazard control programs, health and safety initiatives, and energy efficiency improvements. In addition, HUD encourages applicants to strengthen partnerships to develop the most cost-effective ways to find and control key hazards, and to promote collaboration, data sharing, and targeting between housing departments and health departments so that resources are aimed where needs are greatest.
A notable requirement is the emphasis on economic opportunity and equitable access to the jobs and contracts created by the grant. To the greatest extent feasible, projects should direct job training, employment, contracting, and other economic opportunities generated by the grant to low- and very-low-income residents, particularly those receiving housing assistance, and to local businesses that provide economic opportunities to low- and very-low-income people. HUD points applicants to 24 CFR 135 (Section 3) as the governing framework for these expectations.
Eligible applicants include state governments, counties, cities or townships, federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with other eligible entities as allowed by the NOFO. Faith-based organizations are allowed to apply on the same basis as other organizations. Ineligible applicants include individuals, foreign entities, sole proprietorship organizations, for-profit organizations or corporations, and prior 2024 Healthy Homes Production grant awardees. The NOFO also allows applications from consortia of multiple organizations or multiple units of local government, as long as an eligible entity serves as the lead applicant responsible for overall compliance, and each participating entity satisfies the Resolution of Civil Rights Matters threshold requirement.
The NOFO includes documentation and compliance details that applicants need to plan for. Nonprofits must provide proof of 501(c)(3) designation at the time of application. Government applicants whose department or agency does not report through a direct chain of command to the jurisdiction's chief executive (such as a governor, mayor, or county executive) must cite the statute establishing the entity as part of government and provide the relevant language or a freely accessible web link. Applicants seeking supplemental weatherization funding have additional coordination requirements: they must submit a statement committing to collaborate on weatherization activities within the target area with the local Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program provider, and they must include a letter of commitment from that local WAP provider confirming the intent to collaborate.
From a funding and timing standpoint, the opportunity is listed as Funding Opportunity Number LHC 2600 DC 0044, administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The application closing date is August 31, 2026. HUD lists an award ceiling of $4,000,000 and anticipates making about 25 awards. Overall, the program is designed for applicants that can combine strong local partnerships, clear targeting of high-risk households, and the operational capacity to deliver real hazard reduction work at scale while also building a sustainable local healthy homes infrastructure.Apply for LHC 2600 DC 0044
