Lead Hazard Control

Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control. The purpose of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program is to reduce the exposure of young children to lead-based paint hazards in their homes. This program provides funding to State and local governments to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards in private housing rented or owned by low-income families. Examples of activities that can be funded under this program include:

• Inspection and testing of homes for lead-based paint hazards.
• Remediation of lead hazards.
• Engineering and architectural costs that support lead hazard reduction.
• Liability insurance.
• Blood testing of young children.
• Temporary relocation of families during hazard control.
• Training low-income persons as lead-based paint workers.
• Community education and outreach.
• Data collection, analysis, and evaluation.
• Pre- and post-hazard reduction testing.
