Funding is once again available for Syracuse property owners to replace windows and doors to help eliminate lead hazards. The program, focused on rental properties within city limits, is part of a broader effort to make older housing safer—particularly those built before 1978, when lead-based paint was still in use.
County Executive Ryan McMahon announced an additional $750,000 for the initiative, calling it a “comprehensive and holistic approach” to addressing lead exposure in the community. So far, nearly 450 windows and 45 doors have been replaced through the program.
Home HeadQuarters is managing the application process and will identify eligible properties. Funding is offered as a deferred loan secured by a mortgage on the property.
More information and applications are available at homehq.org.
