About Us
Lead Safe D.C. is a non-profit program that combines a broad family education initiative and a grassroots public policy task force with the goal of ridding the nation's capital of childhood lead poisoning.
The program partners with local health centers and maternity wards to provide educational home visits and community center classes on lead. Lead Safe D.C. also has established the Lead Elimination Task Force, which consists of academics, federal and local officials, nurses and doctors who meet monthly to create strategies, form partnerships and leverage resources to attack the problem of lead poisoning.
