Lead Hazard Control
If your home was built before 1978 and if a child under six (6) years old resides in your home and/or spends any time at your home, then that child may be exposed to lead-based paint hazards and at risk of becoming lead poisoned. The Shelby County Department of Housing (SCDH) Lead Hazard Control Program provides free assistance to homeowners, property owners, and tenants/renters who want to protect themselves from lead-based paint hazards. The Shelby County Department of Housing utilizes funds from a federal grant to address lead hazards.
Eligibility

- The property must be in Shelby County, Tennessee and must be owner-occupied.
- Child/children under six (6) years old must live or spend time at the home.
- Homeowners and tenants/renters must meet HUD income requirements.
Shelby County Department of Housing reviews and approves applications for this program on a first come/first served basis.
