The HUD Building Capacity Grant funding is available through the Allegany County Department of Health to help address lead-based paint hazards in privately-owned homes and rental units that were built before 1978 with priorities set for homes with children under the age of six and pregnant women due to the long-lasting effects that Lead poisoning can have on them.  Remediation work may include painting, enclosure, removal, and replacement of windows, doors, moldings and other surfaces or components that contain lead hazards.
