Lead Safe Homes

Lead Safe Homes refers to residential properties that have been tested and confirmed to have levels of lead paint or lead dust below health hazard standards. The goal is to minimize residents’ exposure to lead, especially for children and pregnant women, who are most vulnerable. Achieving a Lead Safe home involves proper assessment, safe removal or stabilization of lead-based materials, and ongoing maintenance to prevent lead hazards. These efforts help ensure a healthier living environment and protect residents from long-term health risks associated with lead poisoning.
