The Lead Hazard Reduction program (LHR) is the statewide resource for income-eligible families to address the lead-based paint hazards in their homes. It is a grant program that operates with no charge to participating homeowners, tenants, and landlords. All eligible homes will receive a full lead inspection and risk assessment to determine the location and condition of the lead-based paint. All lead-based paint hazards will be addressed through a combination of interim controls and abatement. Families may need to be temporarily relocated (for up to 10 days) while the remediation work is completed. All homes must pass clearance at the end of the project.
To apply for the program, contact LHR staff for an initial eligibility screening. Eligible families will then be referred to their local program provider, who will manage their entire project, from application intake to the final clearance test.
