Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control

The Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (OHHLHC) is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Its mission is to promote healthy housing and reduce lead-based paint hazards, which can be harmful, especially to children. The office supports efforts to identify and eliminate lead risks in homes through research, funding, and education. By doing so, it aims to create safer living environments, enhance public health, and improve the quality of life for families, particularly those in low-income communities.
