Lake County Lead Safe Ohio Program

How it works

The Lead Safe Ohio Program is described as a statewide initiative aimed at reducing lead exposure and ensuring safe, lead-free living environments, particularly for children and families. On this Lake County page, the program is said to be administered by the Ohio Department of Health and to focus on assessing and mitigating lead hazards in homes.

What the money covers

The page says the program provides funding, education, and certification for property owners, contractors, and landlords to ensure lead-safe practices. It also says the program supports lead-hazard assessment and mitigation, lead-safe repairs, and public awareness about lead poisoning risks.

Who it is for

The page emphasizes older homes, especially homes built before 1978, because they are more likely to contain lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust. It does not give a more detailed homeowner eligibility checklist on the county page.

How to apply

The page is a county landing page describing the program and does not provide step-by-step application instructions, forms, or a local intake process.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not state whether the program is currently accepting applications, and it does not list a deadline, funding cycle, or award cap.
