Lead Hazard Reduction Grants
Fondos para la para la reducción del riesgo de plomo (PDF)
The Minnesota Department of Health received funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide grants to residents in southeastern Minnesota to fix hazards like lead paint and other safety issues in owner-occupied and rental homes. The goal of the program is to reduce the risk of lead poisoning in children by increasing the amount of lead-safe housing, especially for households with children under the age of six. Eligible applicants receive a free in-home assessment to identify lead paint and other safety hazards.
