Funding may be available to eligible landlords and property owners with pre-1978 rental units, income-qualified homeowners living in pre-1978 homes, and licensed or certified contractors and housing professionals interested in performing lead hazard control work.

Assistance may support lead paint removal, remediation, abatement, and related healthy homes improvements.

Schools as well as commercial trucking companies often require the fingerprinting of staff before hiring a new employee. Our department frequently performs this service using a state-of-the-art computer that generates results quickly and efficiently.
