Lead Abatement
Lead Abatement helps eligible households identify lead hazards and complete work needed to make a home lead safe.
Through the Lead Abatement program, Penquis helps families identify lead hazards in the home and assists with making the home lead safe. The program is open to both homeowners and landlords of rental properties, though certain guidelines apply.
To qualify for this program
- Properties, rental or single-family residence, must have a child 6 years or younger residing in the home and meet income eligibility requirements. For multi-unit or rental properties, income eligibility is based on tenants’ household income.
- Proof of property insurance is required.
- Properties must have identified lead-based paint hazards. Inspections of all livable areas of the property may be required if not previously inspected within the past year.
