Your application paperwork

Florida's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program screens children for lead and, for a child with a confirmed elevated blood lead level, coordinates a home environmental investigation through the county health department. The program refers families to local health and housing programs that help fix lead hazards in the home.

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.
  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.

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 on the official program page. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.

Deadline: Ongoing, priority for elevated blood lead levels
