Baltimore City Lead Abatement Action Project (LAAP)

The Lead Abatement Action Project provides money to property owners to renovate residential or rental properties in Baltimore City to make these units lead safe.  The program is specifically interested in creating lead-safe housing opportunities for low-income families with young children.

- Home owners

- Landlords

Landlords must agree to keep rents affordable for low– and middle-income tenants for at least five years.  Preference is given to two-story row homes and to units in targeted lead affected neighborhoods which show evidence of economic renewal and house young children.

How much money is available?

For homeowners, up to 100% of the cost of making your home lead safe may be covered.

For landlords, up to 80% of the cost of making a unit lead safe may be covered, with a maximum of $5,000 per unit.  

What can I use the money for?

The LAAP will develop a scope of work that is appropriate to the condition of the house.  The scope will include window, floor, door, trim, wall, paint, exterior, and cleaning treatments.
