Creating safer, healthier homes for children and families

Lead Prevention Program

Education, resources, and guidance to help reduce lead exposure in our communities.

Our Lead Prevention Program helps families understand the risks of lead exposure and how to reduce them. Lead is most often found in homes built before 1978, but it can also be present in soil, water, and household items. Young children are especially at risk, as exposure can affect growth and development. We provide education, resources, and guidance to help identify potential sources of lead and take steps to reduce exposure. Our team can also connect families to testing and additional support if needed. Whether you’re concerned about your home, your child’s health, or just want to learn more, we’re here to help you take simple steps to create a safer environment.
