Lead Program

The City of Waukesha, UW-Extension and community partners recieved funding from the Federal Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control (OHHLHC) to eliminate lead-based paint hazards in Waukesha’s privately-owned and rental housing. We are seeking eligible residences that qualify for home rehabilitation that reduces lead hazards in the home.

We are targeting housing built before 1978, where children under the age of 6 reside or spend a significant amount of time. There are also income requirements that will be verified for entry into the program.

Please view our Program Brochure (English/Spanish) and an educational resource for parents Look Out For Lead (English/Spanish) for important information!

With questions or for information about enrolling into this free program, please contact Amy Greil, Client Outreach, Intake and Communication Specialist, at 262-524-3752.
