PASSEDHouston City Council · 2026-05-19

The city approved contracts with five companies to provide lead-based paint hazard reduction and healthy home intervention services. The contracts run up to five years (three years plus two one-year options) with a combined maximum of $7,676,250, funded by grants.

What it means for you

Houston residents in homes with lead-based paint hazards may be eligible for inspections and remediation services through these contractors. This work is grant-funded, so it does not directly draw from the city's general operating budget.
