Program description
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 expected to accomplish the following objectives:
a. Maximize both the number of vulnerable residents protected from housing-related environmental health and safety hazards and the number of housing units where these hazards are controlled;
b. Identify and remediate housing-related health and safety hazards in privately owned, low-income rental and/or owner-occupied housing, especially in units and/or buildings where families with children, older adults 62 years and older, or families with persons with disabilities reside;
c. Promote cost-effective and efficient healthy home methods and approaches that can be replicated and sustained;
d. Support public education and outreach that furthers the goal of protecting children and other vulnerable populations from housing-related health and safety hazards;
e. Build local capacity to operate sustainable programs that will prevent and control housing-related environmental health and safety hazards in low- and very low-income residences, and develop a professional workforce that is trained in healthy homes assessment and principles;
f. Promote integration of this grant program with housing rehabilitation, property maintenance, weatherization, healthy homes initiatives, local lead-based paint hazard control programs, health and safety programs, and energy efficiency improvement activities and programs;
g. Build and enhance partner resources to develop the most cost-effective methods for identifying and controlling key housing-related environmental health and safety hazards;
h. Promote collaboration, data sharing, and targeting between health and housing departments;
i. Ensure to the greatest extent feasible that job training, employment, contracting, and other economic opportunities generated by this grant will be directed to low- and very-low-income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing, and to businesses that provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons in the area in which the project is located. For more information, see 24 CFR 135 (Section 3).

FAQ
Who can apply for the Healthy Homes Production Grant?
Nonprofits, public housing authorities, community development organizations, and similar entities with capacity to remediate housing hazards at scale. You must demonstrate experience or ability to implement sustainable programs in low-income communities.
What housing units are eligible for remediation?
Privately owned low-income rental and owner-occupied housing, especially units with families with children, seniors 62+, or people with disabilities. The program addresses multiple environmental health hazards comprehensively.
What activities does the grant fund?
Identification and remediation of housing hazards, workforce training, public education, program coordination, and capacity-building. It integrates with weatherization, lead control, and energy efficiency efforts.
When is the deadline?
Fixed deadline of August 4, 2026. Plan your application timeline accordingly, as HUD grants typically require substantial preparation time.
What is the funding range?
Awards range from $1.5 million to $4 million. Cost-sharing is required but the percentage varies; check the full NOFO for specifics.
💡 Tips for applicants
- Demonstrate existing capacity or strong partnerships to manage large-scale remediation at $1.5M+ award level. Credibility matters.
- Show how you will build a trained, sustainable workforce using Section 3 hiring requirements. Detail your training and employment strategy.
- Propose integrated approaches combining lead remediation, weatherization, and energy efficiency. Single-issue proposals are less competitive.
- Document past performance with low-income housing populations, especially vulnerable groups. Metrics on units remediated strengthen your case.
- Build strong partnerships with health departments, housing authorities, and local agencies. Collaboration and data-sharing are explicit program goals.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Proposing to address only one hazard type instead of multiple integrated hazards. Failing to demonstrate workforce capacity or Section 3 compliance planning. Underestimating cost-sharing requirements or including ineligible budget categories in applications.
