Your application paperwork

California's lead-safe housing work helps make older homes safe from lead-based paint for families with young children. It is delivered locally: county health departments and HUD-funded local grantees provide testing, inspection, and abatement, typically free to income-eligible owner-occupants and renters in pre-1978 housing.

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 800-424-5323).
  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.
