Lead Screening and Housing Partnerships: Leveraging Resources to Improve Population Health

Lead poisoning is a serious and debilitating condition that impacts some of the most vulnerable members of our communities. Because of this, there has been a resurgence of government and non-government interest in and support for lead screening and housing remediation initiatives that can benefit health centers, housing agencies, public health entities and their constituents. In this session, Dr. Kevin Lombardi, the NCHPH team, and our government/non-government partners discussed the funding opportunities and partnership frameworks that are available to address this issue in both the health and housing domains.
