Maine is receiving nearly $6 million to address lead-based paint hazards in the homes of low-income families. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said the work will address lead and health hazards in 241 housing units, and will also perform assessments in another 200 homes. Local and state agencies in Maine have received nearly $40 million in federal housing funds over the last decade to address lead hazards.
