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.
