GENERAL INFORMATION
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides funding to states and local governments to evaluate and remediate lead-based paint hazards in pre-1978 low-income privately owned housing. The state Department of Community Services & Development (CSD) administers the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Program in California. CSD has been awarded over $22 million from HUD since 1995 for evaluation and remediation of lead-based paint hazards, developing lead-safe training resources, and building capacity for the CSD network of service providers to achieve self sufficiency in delivering services in their communities. CSD contracts with four community-based organizations to provide lead hazard control services in six California counties (see below for counties and organization links).
