Program details

How it works

The City of Kalamazoo funds a Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program for city residents through a partnership with KNHS Home Ownership Services. The program addresses lead hazards in older homes at no cost to the resident.

The city says the work is funded by the Foundation for Excellence and federal HUD grants, but the homeowner-facing service is the city program page for Kalamazoo residents.

What the money covers

The program addresses lead hazards in older homes. The city says hazard control is done through either full abatement or interim controls under HUD guidelines.

Timing and priority

Households with children age 6 and under living in or visiting the home often are prioritized. Other applicants are served based on availability.

How to apply

The city directs residents to contact KNHS Home Ownership Services to learn more or apply.
