🏠 Protect Your Family from Lead Hazards 🏠
🏠 Protect Your Family from Lead Hazards 🏠
Did you know that lead exposure can cause serious health problems, especially for young children and pregnant women? The EICOG Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program helps eligible homeowners and renters reduce lead-based paint hazards and create safer, healthier homes.
Lead can be found in homes built before 1978 and may be present in peeling paint, dust, and soil. Exposure can affect a child's growth, learning, and behavior, making prevention an important public health priority.
✅ Improve home safety
✅ Reduce lead exposure risks
✅ Protect children's health and development
✅ Support healthier living environments
If you live in an older home, you may qualify for assistance through the EICOG Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Program.
For more information about eligibility and available services, contact EICOG today.

Today we recognize the vital role bees play in our ecosystem—and in public health. Bees are essential pollinators, helping produce the fruits, vegetables, and nuts that support healthy diets and food security worldwide.
Protecting bee populations means protecting our food supply, nutrition, and overall community well-being. Environmental health and human health are deeply connected.
You can help by planting pollinator-friendly flowers, reducing pesticide use, and supporting local conservation efforts.
