Your application paperwork
Iowa HHS runs the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program to find and reduce lead hazards in older homes where young children live. Many counties have a local program that coordinates services for families of a child with an elevated blood lead level, including a home investigation and help controlling the lead paint hazard. Iowa law requires a blood lead test before kindergarten.
Steps to apply
- Have children under 6 tested for lead (Iowa requires at least one test before kindergarten).
- If a child has an elevated blood lead level, contact your local county childhood lead program or Iowa HHS.
- Request a home lead investigation for your pre-1978 home; a certified inspector identifies the hazards.
- Work with the program and your property owner on the lead hazard control steps it identifies.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own or rent and live in the home (typically built before 1978).
- Your child's blood lead test results.
- Information about any child under age 6 in the home.
- A government-issued photo ID.
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
