Are you living in a home built before 1978? Did you know that many homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint? Lead from paint, chips, and dust can be a serious health hazard – particularly to young children. SHRA is offering grant funds to assist with Lead Hazard Remediation up to $10,000 per unit.

To qualify for the program, the home must be located in Sacramento county – all cities in Sacramento County and the unincorporated County area are eligible. Both rental and owner occupied units are eligible.  If owner occupied, the unit must be occupied by a low-income family. It must also have a child under the age of 6 living in the home or be regularly visited by child, or have a pregnant woman residing in the home. If the property is a rental unit, it must be occupied by a low-income family or if vacant, owner must agree that priority for the rental will be given to a low-income family. 

For more information or to apply contact SHRA at 916-440-1317 or email us at leadfunds@shra.org.
