The Healthy Home Technical Studies (HHTS) program is a competitive grant program that is announced annually through HUD's SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding Availability) publication in the Federal Register. The HHTS program announcement is now combined with the Lead Technical Studies Program announcement in a single NOFA. The Notice of Funding Availability is published online.

Program Objectives

The overall program objective is to gain knowledge to improve the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of methods for the evaluation and control of housing-related health and safety hazards. The program, part of HUD's Healthy Homes Initiative, is particularly focused on children's health.

Objectives of particular interest to HUD include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Developing validated assessment tools and improving environmental sampling protocols.
  • Improving upon current residential Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols.
  • Improving indoor air quality.
  • Evaluating the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of interventions to address high-priority residential health and safety hazards.

Eligible HHTS Grant Applicants

Academic and not-for-profit institutions located in the U.S., state and units of local general government, Federally recognized Native American tribes, and for-profit organizations.

Historical Levels of Funding

Since its inception in 1999 the program has awarded approximately $1.5 to $3 million in grant funds annually. Individual grant awards have ranged from approximately $200,000 to $1 million. Previously announced NOFAs are archived.
