Your application paperwork
Wisconsin's Lead-Safe Homes Program makes pre-1978 homes lead-safe for children and pregnant women on Medicaid or BadgerCare Plus by removing lead hazards. For owner-occupants who qualify, the program covers 100 percent of the cost; renters pay nothing. You apply through the state Lead-Safe Homes Program.
Steps to apply
- Have young children in the home tested for lead by your doctor or local health department.
- Contact the program through the official page or your local health department (call 608-267-9191).
- Ask for a home lead inspection or risk assessment for your pre-1978 home, especially if a child has an elevated blood lead level.
- Work with the program on the lead hazard reduction or abatement steps it identifies; income-eligible families often pay nothing.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own or rent and live in the home (typically built before 1978).
- Information about any child under age 6 in the home, including blood lead test results if available.
- Proof of household income (many programs are income-based).
- A government-issued photo ID.
