HUD Lead Hazard Reduction — EPA Lead Program

About This Program

EPA and HUD jointly administer lead hazard reduction programs targeting homes built before 1978 where children under 6 reside. Local HUD-funded grantees test for lead-based paint hazards and can fund abatement or encapsulation for income-qualifying homeowners and renters. Florida is directly regulated by the EPA (not a state-authorized program), so residents contact EPA or the National Lead Information Center to be connected with Jacksonville-area providers.
