Lead Safe Ohio Program

The Lead Safe Ohio Program, funded by the Ohio General Assembly through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), invests $150 million toward state and local efforts to prevent lead poisoning and remediate homes of contamination. Funds are allocated to counties and used for lead-safe building certification, screening and testing for lead poisoning, education and outreach, early intervention, workforce development, and lead safe renovations such as window and door replacement in single-family homes, congregate care shelters, and childcare facilities constructed before 1978.
