Your application paperwork
Maryland helps homeowners and landlords reduce or remove lead-based paint hazards through the Department of Housing and Community Development, with a grant in certain target areas or a loan based on ability to repay (income limit of 80 percent of area median income outside target areas). The home must be registered with the Maryland Department of the Environment Lead Poisoning Prevention 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 410-537-4199).
- 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.
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.
Deadline: Ongoing, priority for occupied homes with children
