Lead Remediation Program (LRAP)

Protecting Families. Improving Homes. Delivering Real Impact.
A state-supported program focused on eliminating lead hazards in residential properties and ensuring safe, healthy living environments for families.

What This Program Is

The Lead Remediation Program (LRAP) is a structured housing and environmental safety initiative implemented by US Latino Affairs Initiatives in partnership with state agencies and certified contractors.
The program identifies, removes, and prevents lead hazards in residential properties—protecting children, families, and vulnerable populations from long-term health risks.

Objective

To eliminate lead-based health hazards in residential properties serving low-income families by funding and overseeing comprehensive lead abatement and remediation services.

Why This Program Matters
