Your application paperwork

Connecticut helps homeowners address lead-based paint hazards in older homes, with the Department of Public Health providing homeowner guidance and HUD-funded local lead hazard reduction programs assessing homes and completing abatement to strict standards. Local programs prioritize homes of low-income families and those with a young child.

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.

  • Information about any child under age 6 in the home, including blood lead test results if available.

  • A government-issued photo ID.
