Urban Asthma Reduction Act of 1999 - Amends the Public Health Service Act to authorize States to use preventive health and health services block grant funds to establish, operate, and coordinate effective and cost-efficient systems to reduce the prevalence of asthma and asthma-related illnesses among urban populations, especially children, by reducing the level of exposure to cockroach allergen in public facilities through integrated pest management that minimizes or avoids the use of pesticide chemicals. Specifies among activities eligible for such funds: (1) structural rehabilitation of housing, public schools, and other public facilities to reduce cockroach infestation; (2) building maintenance; and (3) programs to promote community participation in carrying out integrated pest management at such sites.
