Through the end of 1999, the Program has provided assistance to control the lead hazards in 740 homes and apartments throughout Vermont.
Priority is given to properties occupied by families with a lead poisoned child.
Following are specific requirements for rental units and owner-occupied homes. If located in a Flood Hazard Area, property must have flood insurance Properties must generally be in good repair and have no serious structural problems To determine if a property is in a Flood Hazard Area, contact your Town Clerk. Work on historic or potentially historic properties is reviewed and approved by a preservation consultant to insure the historic character is not lost. Under certain circumstances, a portion of the deferred loan can be forgiven. Depending on the cost of the project and the availability of funds, owners may be required to complete some finish work such as final painting.
