Your application paperwork

Florida's lead and healthy homes work helps homeowners address lead-based paint and other home health hazards. The state program raises awareness and refers families to local health and housing programs with funding to evaluate and remediate lead hazards, especially in pre-1978 homes where a young child lives.

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.
