Lead Safe Washington Program
Lead Hazards cause serious health and development problems for young children if they breathe in lead dust or eat chips of paint. Even in adults, lead can cause health challenges. Together with the DC Department of Housing & Development we want to ensure that low income tenant's homes are lead safe. For more information or to schedule an appointment contact: Theo Alston at 202.396.1201 ext. 152.
