Lead and Healthy Homes Program

The Lead and Healthy Homes Program focuses on protecting families, especially children, from harmful lead exposure and other housing-related health hazards. Lead can be found in older homes, often from lead-based paint or plumbing. This program aims to identify and eliminate lead risks, improve housing conditions, and promote safe living environments. It offers resources, funding, and educational materials to families and communities, ensuring homes are safe and healthy. By addressing these issues, the program helps prevent health problems, particularly developmental issues in children, and supports the overall well-being of families.
