THE LEAD SAFE HOME FUND
LOANS & GRANTS
If you own or rent property in Cleveland built before 1978, its highly likely there is lead in your home exposing yourself, your family, and/or your tenants to the lifelong effects of lead poisoning. Lead is an environmental toxin found in paint which affects the brain, heart, bones, kidneys, and nervous system and there are no safe levels once it is in the bloodstream. New funding from the Lead Safe Home Fund makes getting your home or rental units Lead Safe easier and more affordable than ever.
To stop lead poisoning in our homes for good, we’re placing funds in the hands of those with the power to eliminate lead from our community once and for all –property owners in the city of Cleveland.
On behalf of the Lead Safe Cleveland Coalition, CHN Housing Partners and Environmental Health Watch (EHW) offer financial support to property owners to minimize the cost of making Cleveland homes Lead Safe.
