HUD Launches Lead Poisoning Prevention Week

Resources and materials are being made available for partner organizations.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched its 25th National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week from October 20-26. Conducted in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control, the housing department intends to highlight community coordination as a prime solution to address lead poisoning. Over the next week, the HUD will distribute resources and outreach materials for partner organizations to use.

“Preventing lead poisoning is a top priority for HUD, and we are committed to eliminating childhood lead exposure,” said Acting HUD Secretary Adrianne Todman. “We believe in a future where families across America are thriving in safe and healthy homes, free from the dangerous effects of lead.”

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

  • For wisdom for Acting Secretary Todman as she heads the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
  • For HUD officials as they seek to eradicate lead pipes from American homes.
