Lead Home Repair Resources

Grants and Loans for Home Repair

Onondaga County is dedicated to preventing lead exposure before it occurs by addressing lead at its source — old housing in poor repair. Removing lead paint from a home can be very costly. Fortunately, there are programs available to help with the cost of lead home repairs! These programs pay for experts to safely make the needed repairs in older homes and rental properties. Each program has specific eligibility requirements that must be met to receive assistance.
