Since 1994, VHCB's Healthy & Lead-Safe Homes Program has assisted more than 2,600 landlords and income-eligible homeowners to reduce the risk of lead poisoning caused by lead-based paint hazards.
The VHCB Healthy & Lead-Safe Homes Program was created to reduce lead-based paint hazards in housing serving low-income families. The Program has administered nearly $32 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development to control lead paint hazards in homes and apartments throughout the state.
Work is completed by certified lead abatement contractors. Testing is done to ensure properties are safe before residents return. For more information, please see the program brochure and Frequently Asked Questions
