TSCA Title IV State Lead Grants Certification of Lead-Based Paint Professionals is run by Environmental Protection Agency. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $7.7 million in 18 grants, about $430,428 per award.

## Objectives

The goal of the EPA's lead-based paint program is to eliminate childhood lead poisoning. The program is comprised of four strategies designed to achieve the this goal 1) Establish standards to define where lead hazards are present in paint, dust and soil; 2) Give the public information about lead hazards and steps to protect themselves; 3) Ensure that information about known lead-based paint hazards is disclosed to individuals buying or renting pre-1978 housing, and that owners and occupants of pre-1978 housing are provided information on lead-based paint hazards before renovation activities take place; 4) Establish lead-safe work practice standards and require lead-based paint professionals and renovators who work in pre-1978 housing to be trained and certified. The program assists States, Tribes, and Territories in developing and carrying out authorized programs that: (a) certify contractors engaged in lead-based paint activities and accredit lead-based paint activities training programs; (b) certify contractors engaged in renovation, repair and painting activities that disturb painted surfaces in most target housing and accredit renovator training programs; and/or (c) require distribution of lead-hazard information prior to renovation (pre-renovation education program). In FY 2026, EPA will continue to provide assistance to authorized State, Tribal, and Territorial lead-based paint training and certification programs and pre-renovation education programs. As appropriate, the Agency will use grant funding to provide assistance to a State, Tribal, or Territorial program looking to develop or administer an authorized Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program and/or lead-based paint activities program.
