HUD Funds 39 Local Lead Abatement Projects.

The Occupational Health & Safety (9/19, 80K) reports that HUD "recently awarded $93 million in grants to 39 local projects focused on abating lead-based paint and other home health and safety hazards." The funds went to projects in 21 states. HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan is quoted saying, "Protecting the health and well-being of children is a top priority for HUD. We know that housing conditions directly affect the health of its occupants. ... These grants will help communities around the nation to protect families from lead exposure and other significant health and safety hazards."
