and controlling housing-related health and safety hazards, to develop
new methods to detect and control these hazards, and to improve
our knowledge of housing-related health and safety hazards.
Type
of Assistance
Funds
made available under this program are awarded competitively on an
annual basis through a selection process conducted by HUD. Funds
are awarded in the form of cooperative agreements.

Approximately
$4 million is available for award.
