Schenectady County Lead Hazard Control / Lead Poisoning Prevention services

How it works

Schenectady County’s lead page says the county provides prevention and remediation support for homes with possible lead hazards. The page describes a package of free county services and also points homeowners to the City of Schenectady’s lead grant program.

What the county provides

The county page states that Schenectady County provides:

• FREE Lead Inspections
• FREE Lead Training to learn how to remove lead hazards safely
• Cleaning products and HEPA vacuum rentals
• Assistance with applying for the Lead Safe Housing Program

What the money covers

The county page says the Lead Safe Housing Program “provides up to $20,000 for window, door, siding replacement or other fixes for eligible properties.” The county page itself does not give a separate county cash amount; it is a referral and assistance page pointing to that grant.

Timing and deadlines

The county page does not give a deadline, round, or closing date. It presents these as ongoing county services for qualifying residents.

Important note

This page is not a wildfire program. It is included because it is a currently existing Schenectady County homeowner assistance program that provides home safety services and links to a repair grant for qualifying homes.
