The Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Program is a Federally Funded Grant Program, which focused on homes built prior to 1978 since they are more likely to contain lead-based paint. Additional requirements include: households must meet maximums income limits per household size as listed on the flyer.
*Eligible households must also have a child(ren) 6 years or under (that includes a pregnant woman) that either live in the home, or visits the residence at least 3 hours, 2 times per week, for 60 hours or more per year.
For instance, if a grandparent cares for a grandchild who is under the age of 6 years in their home at a minimum of 3 hours/ twice a week, their home was built prior to 1978, and the grandparents meet the income requirements for household, they could qualify. This program covers lead-based paint abatement and possibly other hazards that are related to lead poisoning in the home e.g. lead in windows, siding, and railings, and/or contributing factors that could lead to lead poisoning such as a leaky roof (water causing paint that contains lead to chip).
