Your application paperwork
There is no single statewide homeowner form for this program. The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) funds and oversees lead hazard reduction, but homeowners apply through their own local city or county program (funded by HUD lead hazard grants or 2019 lead-paint lawsuit settlement funds), and each local agency runs its own application and provides the work at little or no cost to qualifying owners of older homes.
Steps to apply
- Open the CDPH lead hazard Grants page and find the local lead program for your county or city (for example Alameda County Healthy Homes, Solano County Lead Paint Abatement, San Francisco MOHCD, or Los Angeles County).
- Contact that local agency and request its homeowner pre-application or intake form (most accept it by mail, email, in person, or phone).
- Confirm eligibility, which usually means a home built before 1978, a young child or pregnant person in the home, and often visibly deteriorated (peeling or chipping) paint. Some programs also have a household income limit; HUD-funded programs typically do, while settlement-funded programs often do not.
- Submit the local pre-application with proof of ownership, proof that a child or pregnant person lives there, and proof of income if that program requires it.
- If approved, work with the assigned program staff who inspect the home, plan the work, and arrange a certified lead contractor at little or no cost to you.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof of home ownership (deed or property tax bill)
- Proof that a child under six or a pregnant person lives in the home
- Proof of household income if the local program requires it (pay stubs, tax return, or benefit letters)
- Government-issued photo ID
- Year the home was built (most programs require pre-1978)
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.
