Your application paperwork
The Illinois Department of Public Health works to eliminate childhood lead poisoning through testing, case management, and lead hazard reduction, focused on homes built before 1978 where a young child lives. Services are delivered through local health departments, so you apply and are assessed locally, often after a child's blood lead test comes back elevated.
Steps to apply
- Have young children in the home tested for lead by your doctor or local health department.
- Contact your local health department's lead program (the state delegates services to them).
- Ask for a home lead inspection or risk assessment if a child has an elevated blood lead level or your home is pre-1978.
- Work with the local program on the lead hazard reduction steps it identifies.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own or rent and live in the home (built before 1978).
- Information about any child under age 6 in the home, including blood lead test results if available.
- Proof of household income (some local 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.
