Family Relaxing Together

What sort of work will you do on my home?

The primary goal of this program is Lead Hazard Reduction-- wherever lead is present, we will work to eliminate those hazards. This often looks like replacing and installing new:

  • windows

  • doors

  • wood surfaces

The second goal of our program is Healthy Homes-- as long as we have the additional funding, we will provide health and safety improvements to your home that are not related to lead. This might look like:

  • replacing your roof

  • installing an HVAC

  • or upgrading your electrical system

Is this really free?

Yes! Everything from testing for lead to completing work on your home is free to you. The Lead Hazard Reduction grant is capped at $30,000 and Healthy Homes grant is capped at $10,000. 

How long does it take?

Timelines vary based on different factors. After being assigned to a Residential Rehabilitation Specialist takes about seven months to complete a project.  

Is a rental unit eligible?

Yes! A renter or landlord can apply, as long as the current occupant meets income eligibility and the property meets the other requirements. 

I'm a contractor, how can I get involved?

We are always accepting partners! For the Lead Hazard Reduction Program contractors need specific certifications and training, which the city will pay for so that you can participate. Email Alexa.Johnson5@tucsonaz.gov for more information.
