Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program

The Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program is a U.S. initiative that provides funding to help communities safely remove lead-based paint and dust from homes, especially those where young children live. Lead exposure can lead to serious health issues, including developmental problems. The program aims to protect families by aiding local governments and organizations in conducting lead inspections, repairs, and education efforts. By reducing lead hazards, the program helps create safer living environments, particularly in older homes where lead paint was commonly used before its ban in 1978.
