Eligibility

The Lead Hazard Reduction Grant is used to assist in lead hazard remediation of owner-occupied and renter-occupied units ONLY within the City of Marshalltown corporate limits. Eligible families must meet the income guidelines and have a child in the home under the age of 6. Eligible properties must have been built prior to 1978.

Lead Hazards

Lead hazards exist when lead based paint deteriorates on a surface by chipping, peeling or flaking. Hazards can also be found on an impact surface such as a door jamb where it is continually hit. A friction surface hazard is created by two items sliding against each other such as a window going up and down. 

Information for Contractors

Contractors working on a home built prior to 1978 are required to have the proper certification for dealing with lead-based paint under Federal law regardless of if any form of assistance is being used. Read through more information on lead hazard contractors.
