Dear Property Owners, Painters, Managers and Rehab Contractors:

 

If you rent a home built prior to 1978, your tenants may be at risk of lead
poisoning. Young children are especially susceptible to lead poisoning,
which can cause brain damage resulting in a learning disability and/or
mental retardation. In addition, anyone renovating and/or maintaining an
older home may also be at risk of lead poisoning. 

 

To help address this problem, the Durham Affordable Housing Coalition is
coordinating a training for September 2005. Here are the particulars on the
training:

 

Event:               LEAD-SAFE MAINTENANCE TRAINING

Time:                9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Cost:                FREE

Cosponsors:     City of Durham Lead Program  

                        N.C. Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program


 

The training is designed to teach homeowners, property managers, maintenance
staff, and renovators about lead-safe maintenance practices. The training is
also offered in Spanish. The next Lead-safe Maintenance Training will be
taught on December 10, 2005 at the Guilford County Building at 1203 Maple
Street, Greensboro NC 27405 for more information you may contact, Marcus
Allen at 336-641-3925 or Susan Perez-Travers at 919-683-1185 x 26.

Other benefits of attending include:

a residential property with federal funds as well as any Section 8 property
owner renovating/remodeling his or her unit(s). 

*        Learn about City and County programs to help assess and address
lead hazards.
