Application Process

If your home was built before 1978, you reside in a one to four-family residential property, and you meet the Low to Moderate Income (LMI) limits for the county, you may be eligible for one of the lead assistance programs to remove lead hazards from your home with no cost to you. 

 

The first step to discovering if there is lead in your home is by calling your Local Lead Agency. You can talk to the agency about having your home tested for lead. 

 

Field staff from the agency will conduct an initial lead swab/dust wipe test to test for the presence of lead hazards at the property. If lead is found on the property, the agency will ensure you are eligible for lead remediation work through the programs. You will be required to submit a list of documents to the agency. 

 

Listed Below is all the required documentation needed for program approval.

• Lead Assistance Program Application

• Right of Entry Permit and Release of Information Form

• Confirmation of Receipt of Lead Pamphlet

• Proof of Income
