Lead Hazard Reduction Program

The Lead Hazard Reduction Program is a government initiative focused on identifying and removing lead-based paint hazards in homes, especially in older buildings. Lead exposure can cause serious health problems, particularly in children. The program helps make homes safer by inspecting for lead paint, removing or encapsulating it, and ensuring environments are lead-safe. It also provides resources and guidance for property owners to prevent lead poisoning. Overall, the goal is to protect communities from health risks associated with lead, improving safety and well-being for residents.
