Windham County Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Capacity Building Program

How it works

Windham County says it has been awarded a $1,100,000 Lead Hazard Reduction Capacity Building Grant to build a program that can apply for a lead hazard control grant in 2027. The stated goal is to build capacity to determine the prevalence of childhood poisoning, identify and train local contractors, and support administration of a future lead hazard control effort.

The current site also says the program is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to help develop the policies and procedures needed to administer and implement the Lead Hazard Control Program.

What the money covers

The page says funding is available for lead hazard reduction and related healthy homes work in rental units. The current site text does not provide a detailed task list, but it does state that eligible housing providers may receive financial assistance to address lead hazards in rental units and that the broader program is meant to support safer living conditions for tenants.

Amounts and matching

Earlier program materials on this page said qualifying properties may receive up to an estimated $3,500 for inspections and up to $24,366 per unit for lead hazard reduction, with property owners asked to contribute a 10% owner match. The current page text does not restate or revise those figures, but it confirms the program is still in development and tied to a future 2027 grant application.

Who can apply

The page says funding is available to property owners and landlords renting to low/moderate income families in Windham County. It also says eligible housing providers may receive financial assistance for rental units.

Timing and deadlines

The site says the program received the $1.1 million grant on 17 Feb 2025 and is building a program that can apply for a lead hazard control grant in 2027. The page currently does not list an application deadline, open date, or close date for homeowner assistance.
