Technical Correction published for this NOFA June 12,2008. Information contained in the INSTRUCTIONS DOWNLOAD. To be eligible to apply for funding under the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control (LBPHC) Grant Program, the applicant must be a state, Native American Tribe, 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 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. To be eligible to apply for the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration (LHRD) Grant Program, the applicant must be a city, county/parish, Native American Tribe, or other unit of local government. The applicant must have at least 3,500 pre-1940 occupied rental housing units (either alone or through a consortium), as listed at the 2000 Census website identified in Form HUD 96013, Need/Extent of the Problem. In addition, a State may apply on behalf of one or more of the eligible local jurisdictions if it has an EPA-authorized lead-based paint training and certification program. Multiple units of a local government (or multiple local governments) may apply as a consortium for a metropolitan area if the total number of pre-1940 occupied rental housing units for the combined jurisdiction is at least 3,500; however, the application must identify the jurisdiction that will be administratively responsible for ensuring compliance with all requirements specified in this NOFA. If a jurisdiction will be covered as part of a State, county/parish, or consortium application, it is not eligible to apply as an individual applicant under this NOFA. Further, consortium applicants must ensure that where there is jurisdictional overlap, there is no double-counting of units to meet the unit threshold. A list of metropolitan areas having at least one place or county/parish with 3,500 or more occupied rental housing units built before 1940 is provided in Appendix A, which can be downloaded from: http://www.grants.gov/Applicants/Apply_for_grants.jsp. 3. To be eligible to apply for funding under the Operation Lead Elimination Action Program (LEAP), the applicant must be a non-profit or for-profit entity or firm. For-profit entities are not allowed to earn a fee. Colleges and universities are also eligible to apply. National and local groups are encouraged to apply. Multiple eligible entities may apply as a consortium; however, a lead applicant must be identified that will be administratively responsible for ensuring compliance with all requirements specified in this NOFA. States, cities, counties/parishes and units of local government and their departments are not eligible.
