Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program Free Lead Inspections
Is Your Home Safe? Did you know that lead — a silent threat in older homes — can effect child development? Lead can poison you and your children. Children under six years of age are at the greatest risk for lead poisoning which complicates a child’s growth, behavior, and ability to learn. 90% of the housing stock in 12180, 12182 & 12144 zip codes were built prior to 1970, putting these homes at a higher risk for containing lead. Do you reside in the 12180, 12182 or 12144 zip codes? Do you reside in a home built prior to 1978? Are you concerned about your child being exposed to lead? CCE offers FREE In Home Lead Inspections. If you answered yes to any of the above questions than you should call our partner, the Rensselaer County Health Department at 518-270-2640 to see if your home qualifies for a lead inspection. All qualified inspections receive free cleaning supplies.
The Asthma Project Do you or anyone in your home have asthma? Is that person on Medicaid? If you answered yes to both questions, Cornell Cooperative Extension Albany County may have a program to help you…The Asthma Project has trained educators available to identify asthma triggers in your home AND will help to facilitate simple repairs to eliminate these triggers. This is a FREE program if you qualify. If interested or if you have questions, please contact Diane at 765-3521 or by email at [email protected]
