Goal

Our primary goal is to remediate or remove lead hazards from the interior of privately-owned single- family residential properties built before 1978. Lead paint is the primary source of childhood le ad poisoning. HHVC integrates health and safety interventions, lead hazard control, and housing rehabilitation for property owners by efficiently coordinating resources to produce healthy homes. The program’s approach will improve the housing for current and future occupants across Ventura County. HHVC funding will also be used for education and outreach activities related to lead abatement.

The services that may be available to qualified homeowners include:

• Free lead-paint assessment

• Assistance with cleaning, painting, or remediating lead-based paint **Eligibility considered on a case-by- case basis**
