The Lead Abatement Program

The Lead Abatement Program aims to reduce lead hazards in homes, especially older buildings with paint containing lead. Lead exposure can cause serious health issues, particularly in children. The program involves inspecting properties, identifying lead-based paint, and removing or sealing it safely through approved methods. It also provides funding or support to homeowners and landlords to carry out these repairs. The goal is to create healthier living environments by preventing lead poisoning while ensuring the work is done safely and up to regulatory standards.
