Paint Lakewood

Keep your home and Lakewood beautiful by painting your house —we can help make it more affordable!

This program will provide a reimbursable grant, provided by the City of Lakewood, for up to $8,000** to City of Lakewood homeowners and residents to work with EPA certified lead-safe paint contractors to complete exterior housing painting. The goal is to revitalize and improve Lakewood’s neighborhoods and reduce lead hazards by educating residents on lead safety issues.

If only the grant amount is used and no personal funds are spent, clients will be required to contribute 10% of the grant cost towards the project. If you should have questions regarding this program, LakewoodAlive staff will provide additional details.

Qualified applicants must meet HUD-established income guidelines. Other restrictions apply.

The Paint Lakewood 2025 application is now available below and is a fillable document. Please contact Ben Klein at bklein@lakewoodalive.org or 216-521-0655 x8 for Paint Lakewood inquiries and questions.

Thanks to the City of Lakewood for their partnership and funding of this program.
