More than $7 million in community grants have been awarded by the Michigan Department of Human Health and Services, in an effort to expand residential lead hazard control services.
Those who are eligible for the services are households with a Medicaid-enrolled student. Funding is provided by Michigan’s Children’s Health Insurance Program, with grants of up to $1.5 million available for qualifying cities, counties, or consortiums.
Services available for funding include, but are not limited to, removal of faucets and fixtures pre-2014 that are used for human consumption. If your home receives services they will also temporarily relocate occupants during lead abatement services.
