Will Cleveland Rentals Be “Lead Safe” by 2021?
/
As reported by the Plain Dealer, each day four children in Cleveland are diagnosed with lead poisoning.
Children’s exposure to lead has reached new heights and an advocacy group is working to propose a ballot that would force older Cleveland homes to be completely lead free.
As stated in the article, “A “lead safe” ordinance created by members of CLASH — Cleveland Lead Advocates for Safe Housing — would require owners of most Cleveland rental homes to prove their properties are lead-safe by 2021 or face fines.”
This is just one of many efforts being made to protect our youngest Cleveland residents from life-altering health and mental issues caused from lead poisoning.
