On September 16^th, HUD published a Federal Register (FR) Request for Information seeking public input on developing a formula grant program to allocate  funding for HUD's Lead Hazard Reduction and Healthy Homes grant programs.

These grant programs are statutorily required to make funding awards on a competitive basis; however, HUD has requested Congressional approval to award a portion of grant funds to eligible jurisdictions using a formula rather than using the competitive, and procedurally more complex, process. The Department believes that a formula grant program may allow more efficient distribution of funding to highest need communities, streamline the selection and award of grants, and help maximize funding utilization.

Questions about this notice can be directed to Peter Han, Social Science Analyst, at 202-402-7698.
