Safe and Healthy Homes
Forms | Provider Resources | Patient & Parent Education
Safe and Healthy Homes is a primary prevention partnership linking parents and resources in an effort to abate lead hazards before toddlers begin crawling and exploring the home environment and to provide primary care providers updated updated information on primary prevention and screening for lead exposure. Safe and Healthy Homes is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
All HFS-enrolled children must be screened with a blood lead test at ages 12 and 24 months, or up to 72 months, if they have not been previously screened.
