Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes Program

The lead program aims to prevent lead poisoning by making homes lead safe. Qualifications for assistance apply to the household living in the property:
  • Live in a house built before 1978 that is within the Dubuque city limits. If you're not sure whether you're in the city limits, click here for an interactive map that will tell you.
  • Have a child under the age of six that lives in the home or visits the home on a frequent basis. Alternatively, a pregnant woman qualifies.
