About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Houston Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program in its Houston, TX research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
The Houston Health Department's Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program reduces lead hazards in privately-owned or rental homes that house low-income children under age 6 and were built before 1978. The program has received HUD grants including a $3 million award to convert approximately 160 lead-hazardous homes into safe homes. Homes must be within Houston city limits.
Remediation costs are covered by HUD grant funding; homeowners and landlords pay nothing out of pocket if they qualify.
