Lead Safe Washington DC The Lead Safe Washington Program (LSW) provides grant funds for the identification and control of lead-based paint hazards. Deteriorated lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust present significant health hazards to individuals of all ages and children younger than six-years-old in particular. By addressing the lead-based paint and lead dust hazards in your property, you will help create a lead-safe environment for your family or tenants. LSW provides funds to reduce lead-based paint hazards in eligible single- and multi-family dwellings. LSW will provide assistance to: Income eligible owner-occupied households with at least one child under the age of 6 that either lives in or frequent visits a housing unit with existing hazards related to lead-based paint Owners of rental housing units with existing hazards related to lead-based paint that are occupied by income-eligible families (these property owners must commit to affirmatively market all treated units to families with children under the age of six for three years following the abatement) Please see below for more information on eligibility requirements.
