Virginia Lead Safe Homes Program
The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) Virginia Lead Safe Homes Program provides assistance for housing within designated localities that were built prior to 1978 and are occupied by low-income families with a child six years old or younger.
The localities that are currently receiving funding as a subgrantee are: the cities of Danville, Petersburg, Newport News, and Portsmouth, and the counties of Accomac, Northampton (Eastern Shore), Surry, Amelia, Mecklenburg, and Nottoway. Additional localities may be included as time permits. Rental and owner occupied properties are eligible. A copy of the Lead Safe Homes Brochure is online!
To learn if your family or property may be eligible for this assistance, call (804) 371-7064. HUD Income Limits for 2007 can be viewed for each locality by visiting the Virginia Housing Development Authority.
