Sullivan County Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Program

How it works

Sullivan County says it has a Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes program funded by NH CDFA Community Development Block Grant housing rehabilitation dollars and a HUD Lead Hazard Reduction Grant. The county says these funds are used to identify and reduce lead hazards in eligible homes throughout Sullivan County.

What the money covers

The official page focuses on lead hazard reduction and healthy-home repairs. It also notes that the earlier grant summary included fire safety, smoke/CO detectors, asthma-related items, and similar healthy-home work, but the currently posted page is primarily about lead-safety and healthy-home remediation.

Amounts and matching

The page states that occupants must be at or below 80% of Area Median Family Income (AMFI) to qualify for the grant and at or below 90% of AMFI for the 0% loan. It gives one concrete example: a family of 4 must make less than $62,000 for the grant. Owners must pay 10% of project costs as owner match.

How to apply

The county directs interested property owners to contact the program staff listed on the Sullivan County site. The page identifies Program Manager Kate Kirkwood and Project Director Derek Ferland as points of contact.

Timing and deadlines

The page states that a new $300,000 NH CDFA CDBG Housing Rehabilitation award and a 2024 $4 million HUD Lead Hazard Reduction Grant are supporting the program. It does not provide a public application deadline on the page.
