WALDORF, MD-Hometest METS Laboratories will be the prime supplier of laboratory services for a $120-million lead paint inspection and risk assessment program through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The program targets federally owned and assisted multifamily projects.

Under the contract, valued at $12 to $15 million, Hometest will provide the Lawgibb Group and Connor Environmental Services and Engineering Assessments with test kits for thousands of properties across the United States and its territories. Hometest will analyze lead dust samples to see if they meet government guidelines. Testing began Monday.

“The threat of lead dust is very real for any property built prior to 1978, not just federally owned and assisted residences,” says Hometest founder and CEO James B. Bland, III. “This testing program could become the standard of care that could encourage landlords nationwide to institute lead dust testing in their properties.”
