LEAD Program

Lead Poisoning is Preventable!

The Will County Center for Community Concerns, in partnership with Will County Community Development Division and the Will County Health Department, is accepting applications for the Lead Hazard Reduction Program.

Exposure to lead in the home poses serious health risks, especially for very young children. Deteriorating paint, household dust, drinking water and contaminated soil around the foundation are common sources of exposure. The Lead Hazard Reduction Program will enable Will County residents with children under the age of six to have their home assessed and appropriate measures taken to reduce identified lead hazards.

To be eligible, households must meet income guidelines* and contain children under the age of six. Families referred through the Will County Health Department due to a child with elevated blood lead levels will be given priority status.
