Lead Abatement

Description
A federally funded grant program designed to help families stay safe from lead. Homes built prior to 1978 could contain lead-based paint. When small children are exposed to lead it can cause behavioral problems, damage to organs, and learning problems. Homeowners and renters in Niagara Falls and Lockport may qualify for free or low-cost lead-based paint control and housing improvements. Potential items that qualify include replacement windows, replacement doors, fresh paint, aluminum trim, and more.
