Lead Hazard Reduction and Healthy Homes
The Federal Lead Hazard Reduction program assesses homes and develops a scope of work to address housing-related health hazards, such as lead-based paint, mold, asbestos, and injury risks. The program works with property owners and contractors to complete the work to strict specifications in accordance with federal, state, and local environmental and building regulations.
Health Homes Program (State) – Connecticut's Healthy Homes initiatives focus on improving child and resident well-being by identifying and fixing health hazards like lead, mold, asbestos, and injury risks in homes, primarily through programs run by Connecticut Children's Medical Center, aiming for lead-safe, clean, and safe housing for low-income families and others. Resources include assessments, education, funding for repairs, and connections to broader housing assistance.
