Did you know that homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, posing serious health risks to young children? Lead exposure can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems. But there's good news—lead poisoning is 100% preventable.

🏠 Hennepin County's Lead Control Program offers:
✅ Free lead testing for homes built before 1978
💰 Up to $15,000 in grants for eligible families to remove lead hazards
🛠️ Expert assistance from certified lead risk assessors

Since 2004, the program has helped over 5,000 families create safer homes. Whether you're a homeowner or a renter with children under 6, you may qualify for assistance.
