Cuyahoga County Board of Health’s Lead Safe Cuyahoga Grant
Lead is a poison. When it gets into a child’s body, it can harm the child’s brain and cause learning and behavior problems. Many homes built before 1978 may have paint that contains lead. Cuyahoga County Board of Health, in conjunction with the City of Parma Community Development Block Grant, can help provide free home repairs that limit a child’s exposure to lead. An owner, landlord or renter in Parma with a child 5 years old or younger and who qualifies based on income may receive up to $8,000 or more in assistance to replace windows and doors, and repair porches and a home’s exterior to eliminate lead. For more information, call the Cuyahoga County Board of Health at 216-201-2000.
