Lead Safe

The owner/occupant of the structure must meet federal income guidelines of 80% or below area median income, see chart below. The applicant may be an investor/owner defined as: sole proprietor; partnership; non-profit or for profit corporation. For investor/owners, income guidelines do not apply, but their tenants must meet income guidelines.

Properties eligible for lead hazard control work must meet these conditions:

     - Constructed in or before 1978

     - Single, or multi-family units

     - Structure contains lead-based paint hazards

     - Units may be vacant or occupied

Priority is given as follows:

     - Presence of children under 6 identified with Elevated Blood Levels of lead

     - Presence of children under 6 as part of a Primary Prevention Program, a planned approach to lead

       control before children are poisoned.

     - Units located in identified target areas

     - Contition of the structure and value of the unit

     - Degree of lead hazards

     - Units earmarked for existing rehabilitation programs

      

On a case-by-case basis, a unit located outside of the targeted areas and occupied by a lead poisoned child under six years of age will be considered for financial assistance or referred to a lead hazard control program in their area, if applicable.
