New Lead Mitigation Program

The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development is launching a new Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program, supported by $4 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Housing. The program is providing lead hazard assessment, full remediation, and final clearance testing to ensure properties meet strict federal and state safety standards. The program targets lead hazards in homes built before 1978. Both homeowners and landlords are eligible. Information is available at dhcd.maryland.gov.
