The "Lead Safe Lansing" Program

The Lead Safe Lansing Program utilizes funding made available through the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) to sponsor a lead remediation program to make housing units lead safe for both owner-occupied and rental units within the City limits.  Up to $8,000.00 is available as a loan for the lead remediation, and after three years, the loan will be forgiven.  A minimum match of 25% of the cost of lead remediation is required.  Our office can help you with the match requirement through other programs.

Lead remediation items installed in your home could include: 

•         New windows
•         New doors
•         Fresh paint
•         Aluminum trim
•         Porch floor enclosure
•         Vinyl siding
