Hi Pam,
I didn't know if the Lyell-Otis Neighborhood Association members were aware
of Monroe County's new "HUD
Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Home Grant". We
are offering a reimbursement grant up to $5500/unit to control
all lead and
healthy home hazards. Costs beyond the $5500 must be covered by the owner.
Please share this information
with property owners in your association. We
have room for new applicants as our goal is to make 350 units lead safe.
Our
grant started in Jan 2010 and will run until Dec 2012. Here's a link
to our web page that explains our grant and
includes a Homeowner Grant
factsheet/application:
