About This Program

HUD Lead Hazard Reduction, EPA Lead Program is available to homeowners and renters in Jacksonville, FL.

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.
