The City of St. Petersburg administers a federally funded Lead Reduction Program designed to reduce lead-based paint hazards in eligible residential properties and promote healthier living environments for City residents. Funding for this program is provided through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

The program supports lead hazard reduction activities through contractor training, implementation of EPA lead-safe work practices, homeowner education, and home remediation projects.

As part of program implementation, the City provides contractors with equipment necessary to perform lead-safe renovation activities and provides participating homeowners with assembled lead safety kits containing cleaning supplies and educational materials that encourage ongoing lead-safe maintenance practices within the home.

The resulting contract will support program operations through the current grant period, which is scheduled to conclude on May 1, 2027.
