Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program

The Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program is a federal initiative designed to reduce lead exposure risks in homes, particularly those built before 1978, when lead-based paint was banned. Through this program, local governments and organizations receive funding to identify and safely remove lead hazards, especially in low-income communities. The goal is to protect the health of children and vulnerable populations by making homes safer, while also promoting education about lead poisoning prevention. This program supports both environmental health and community well-being by addressing the dangers posed by lead paint.
