Lead Abatement

Central District Health Department (CDHD) has partnered with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to launch a lead hazard reduction initiative in Hall, Hamilton, and Merrick counties. Lead, a toxic heavy metal commonly found in older homes, was once widely used in paint. If your home was built before 1978, there is a significant chance it contains lead-based paint. This program aims to build local capacity by training qualified lead-abatement contractors to safely remove this hazardous material. CDHD . . .
