๐Ÿ  Protect Your Family from Lead Hazards ๐Ÿ 

Did you know that lead exposure can cause serious health problems, especially for young children and pregnant women? The EICOG Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program helps eligible homeowners and renters reduce lead-based paint hazards and create safer, healthier homes.

Lead can be found in homes built before 1978 and may be present in peeling paint, dust, and soil. Exposure can affect a child's growth, learning, and behavior, making prevention an important public health priority.

โœ… Improve home safety
โœ… Reduce lead exposure risks
โœ… Protect children's health and development
โœ… Support healthier living environments

If you live in an older home, you may qualify for assistance through the EICOG Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program.

For more information about eligibility and available services, contact EICOG today.
