Your application paperwork

In Texas, lead hazard reduction money for homeowners comes from HUD funded grants that are run by local city or county agencies, not by the state DSHS, which only licenses lead professionals and tracks blood lead testing. An eligible homeowner of a pre 1978 home, usually low to moderate income with young children or an elevated blood lead level, applies through their local administering agency, which inspects the home and pays a certified contractor to fix the lead hazards at no cost to the qualifying household.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm your home was built before 1978 and check the income and household rules (priority often goes to families with children under 6 or a child with an elevated blood lead level).
  2. Find the agency that runs lead hazard reduction grants where you live by contacting your city or county health or housing department (for example Dallas County Health and Human Services, City of Fort Worth Lead Safe, City of San Antonio, City of Houston).
  3. Complete that agency's short interest or intake form (most use an online form) and submit it.
  4. Wait for program staff to contact you for screening and enrollment, then schedule the lead inspection and risk assessment.
  5. If you qualify, the program arranges and pays a certified contractor to perform the lead hazard work.

Documents you will likely need

  • Proof of home ownership (deed or property tax statement) or, for renters, owner consent
  • Proof of household income (pay stubs, tax return, or benefit award letters)
  • Proof that the home was built before 1978 (appraisal district record or property record)
  • Identification for household members and proof a child under 6 lives in or regularly visits the home, if applicable
  • Any recent blood lead test results for a child in the household, if available
