The City of Phoenix Lead Hazard Control Program provides lead-based paint abatement services to low-income families in certain neighborhoods in Phoenix. This program is funded through a grant from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development program (HUD). No other public funding exists in Arizona for lead-based paint abatement. The ADHS can provide referrals to private companies that provide lead-based paint testing and abatement services. Outreach and education materials are available through ADHS, the Office of Environmental Health, at (800) 367-6412. This information is available for health care providers, managed-care organizations, and the public. Speakers are available to give presentations on lead poisoning epidemiology and prevention.
