Lead-Safe Cleveland
Understanding Cleveland’s lead-safe housing requirements, compliance pathways, and certification process.
Lead-Safe Cleveland Coalition
What It Is
Citywide strategy: grants, per-unit incentives, owner support, and outreach for pre-1978 housing.
Funding at a Glance
- $750 per unit (Lead-Safe Certification)
- $1,000 per unit (20-Year Exemption)
- Typical costs: RRP ≈ $800–$2,500/unit; abatement higher
RRP vs Abatement
RRP manages hazards during renovation; abatement permanently removes hazards and enables the 20-year pathway. We help choose the right path.
