About HHLR:

HHLR provides lead hazard reduction home repair services to create a lead-safe environment for the children of Dallas. HHLR also includes Healthy Homes Supplemental Funding for the identification and remediation of housing related health and safety hazards in homes. Studies have suggested that issues like asthma and unintentional injuries are the cause of sub-standard housing conditions that can easily be prevented.

The free program protects children from lead when they live or spend extended periods of time in a home with deteriorated lead-based paint. Participation in the program will require a paint inspection/risk assessment of the property to determine presence of lead-based paint hazards. For qualifying households, the program will identify, remove, or stabilize lead-based paint hazards at no cost to the homeowner.

  • HUD Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Grant (LBPHRP):  $2,000,000 in grant funds with CDBG match of $735,000 are available to help identify and reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazards in homes 1978 or older, low-income families, where children under the age of 6 reside. 
  • HUD Healthy Homes Supplemental Program (HHSP):  $300,000 in grant funds that help to identify and reduce health and safety hazards and can only be used if Lead hazards are found in the home.

The Department of Housing & Neighborhood Revitalization presented an overview of the preservation programs to the Housing and Homelessness Solutions Committee on April 26, 2021. To learn more about the HHLR, Home Improvement & Preservation Program (HIPP), and Targeted Rehab Program (TRP) please watch the video below, or view the full HHS Council Committee meeting on the Dallas City News Network. On September 9, 2021, amendments were approved and Dallas City Council adopted the current Comprehensive Housing Policy.
