Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lead is a harmful metal that can make people very sick, especially young children. Kids under age 6 are more at risk because their bodies and brains are still growing. Lead can cause problems with learning, lower IQ, trouble paying attention, damage to organs, and a blood condition called anemia. At very high levels, lead poisoning can even cause death. \u201cLead poisoning is preventable,\u201d stated Gabrielle Lanich, Lead Program Coordinator of the Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments (GO Health). \u201cPreventing exposure before it happens is the most effective way to protect children and families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GO Health is happy to share that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Lead Hazard Control and Health Homes grant has been renewed for three more years. This funding will help people who live in Genesee, Livingston, Orleans, and Wyoming (GLOW) counties. The program allows the Genesee County Health Department to find and fix dangers from lead paint and other health risks in homes. This means we can keep helping more families and making homes safer and healthier. The grant pays for fixing lead hazards and some other home health improvements in homes and apartments in the GLOW region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
