- What it does
- The Lead-Based Paint and Housing-Related Hazards are for Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint and other housing-related hazards including carbon monoxide and mold in public housing, and for other costs associated with public housing asset improvement. The Lead-Based Paint Capital Fund Program provides competitive grants to PHAs to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards in public housing by carrying out the activities of risk assessments, abatement, and interim controls (as those terms are defined in section 1004 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851b)). The Housing-Related Hazards Capital Fund Program provides funds for PHAs to prevent and correct significant housing-related health and safety hazards such as mold and carbon monoxide in public housing.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
