Program details

How it works

When funding is available, LeadSafe Charlotte provides grants to assist low-income homeowners with addressing unsafe lead paint conditions that pose a potential health hazard to young children.

What the money covers

The program is designed to assist owners of single- and multi-family dwellings and investor owners of properties with two or more bedrooms. The city says qualifying participants may receive:

  • Free lead inspections at your home
  • Free blood testing of children (finger stick)
  • Free remediation of lead hazards at your home or rental property

The page also notes that if your home was built before 1978, you should have your home tested, and that all children should be tested for lead poisoning at the discretion of their physician.

Amounts and matching

The page excerpt does not state a dollar maximum or any matching requirement.

How to apply

The page provides a LeadSafe Charlotte Hotline at 704-336-2114 to see if you qualify for free testing and free blood testing for children enrolled in the program. It also includes an “Apply for LeadSafe Charlotte Program” link and a “LeadSafe Charlotte Project Registry” link.
