The correction changes how the total is described

Roanoke’s corrected notice says $6.25 million is available for lead-hazard work in as many as 150 homes over three years, but warns that the combined total is not a single federal grant. It identifies a $5.75 million HUD award and a $474,821.37 city match, with the detailed combined project amount stated as $6,224,821.37.

Eligibility is specific

The city lists four requirements: the applicant must live in Roanoke, the home must have been built before 1978 and be outside a floodplain, a child age five or younger must live in or regularly visit the home, and the household must meet income guidelines. Applications are described as rolling, not automatically approved.

Use the program for the property decision

Residents should use the city’s current application route and ask how documentation, inspection and remediation are handled. Lead exposure is a health concern, but this article cannot diagnose a child, test paint or determine property eligibility.

Seek medical advice from a qualified clinician and property guidance from the responsible program rather than relying on a general summary.
