Louisiana Housing Corporation (LHC) and the Louisiana Department of Health’s (LDH) Healthy Homes and Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program have partnered in the administration of the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant. The objective of the grant is to create healthy living conditions for children under the age of six, educating the public on hazards of lead poisoning, identifying children with a Blood-Lead Level (BLL) greater than 5 (five) and leveraging other resources such as Weatherization Assistance funding, when possible, to make additional improvements to the dwelling.
The following 20 parishes are included in the Grant Program:

*Parishes were selected due to testing results provided by LDH which showed these parishes to be the top parishes with elevated blood level in children under the age of six.
**If a home is located in a Coastal Area and/or Floodplain, they are not eligible for this initial phase.
Grants may also be made to assist rental housing. At least 50 percent of the units must be occupied by or made available to families with incomes at or below 50 percent of the area median income level. The remaining rental units must be occupied and/or made available to families with incomes at or below 80 percent of the area median income level.
Eligibility is not guaranteed. For additional information or questions, please contact Donna Stewart at dstewart@lhc.la.gov.
