Trumbull Neighborhood Partnership received $1.8 million for repairs and renovations at county homes, childcare facilities and community facilities to help mitigate lead risk.
TNP is one of 53 grantees selected to receive state funding to protect families from the dangers of toxic lead.
This funding comes from the new Lead Safe Ohio program, which is allocating a total of $84 million to support lead mitigation and prevention projects across the state.
“Every Ohioan deserves the right to live in a home free from the silent threat of toxic lead,” said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine. “Behind every instance of lead exposure is a face, a family and a future put at risk.”
The money will be used to inspect and renovate residential and care facilities in 72 counties in Ohio.
“This grant will allow us to mitigate those risks for a great number of properties,” said Mikenna McClurg, TNP housing coordinator and point of contact for the program.
According to McClurg, there’s a large need for lead abatement contractors or people who have their EPA renovation, repair and paint certificate to perform this work.
Contractors interested in becoming lead certified can also reach out to TNP by calling (330) 599-9275 or sending an email to info@tnpwarren.org.
