CT lead safety project gets $2M grant

The Connecticut Children’s Medical Center was awarded a two-year, $2 million grant to support a lead prevention safety project.

The Lead Action for Medicaid Primary Prevention (LAMPP) project received its grant from the State of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development.

LAMPP offers residence assessments for health risks such as asbestos, radon, and lead paint, as well as financial assistance to help remediate those hazards. The recent state grant will help the project assist low- and moderate-income residences.
