Witness the incredible transformation! 🏡➡️🏠 In our latest ECHD “2 Minute Health Break,” we take you inside a local home that received vital lead removal services through our Lead Hazard Control & Healthy Homes program. See the “before” – a home with risks from old windows and doors – and the amazing “after,” showcasing a safer, healthier living space thanks to updates like window replacement!

Lead hazards in homes built before 1978 can pose serious health risks, especially to children. Our program helps homeowners and landlords in Erie, Huron, Ottawa, Lorain, and Sandusky Counties achieve healthy housing by making crucial safety upgrades to protect families.

In this episode, you’ll see:

  • The dangers of lead-based paint in older housing.
  • A real-life example of lead remediation.
  • The positive impact on a local family’s home and health.
