Lead Abatement
Ohio SCHIP Lead Hazard Abatement Grant (Medicaid-funded)
The SCHIP lead program has funding available to remove lead paint hazards from homes built before 1978. This program is statewide and available in every Ohio county. The goal is to help protect families with Medicaid-eligible children and/or Medicaid-eligible pregnant women against the dangers of lead paint hazards. While funding is provided by Medicaid, the program is administered by the Ohio Department of Health. The program gives priority to homes where children have been lead-poisoned and have lead hazard control orders. Given the high demand for SCHIP, new applicants may be placed on a waiting list. For more information, contact ODH at 1-887-532-3723 or 614-644-0220.
