Your application paperwork

Arkansas's lead program tracks childhood lead exposure and helps families find and remove lead hazards in older homes. The Department of Health recommends having a certified professional test a pre-1978 home, and abatement is done by a state-certified contractor; the program guides families with a lead-exposed child to the right help.

Steps to apply

  1. Have young children in the home tested for lead by your doctor or local health department.
  2. Contact the program through the official page or your local health department (call 501-671-1472).
  3. Ask for a home lead inspection or risk assessment for your pre-1978 home, especially if a child has an elevated blood lead level.
  4. Work with the program on the lead hazard reduction or abatement steps it identifies; income-eligible families often pay nothing.

  • Information about any child under age 6 in the home, including blood lead test results if available.

  • A government-issued photo ID.
