Troubleshooter Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
CLEVELAND — The City of Cleveland recognized National Lead Poisoning Prevent Week with a series of events and a commitment to make improvements, as it admits its own lead safe initiative faces a struggle in 2023.
Maurer said the city was able to collect more than $100 million dollars to address the issue of lead poisoning in Cleveland but said less than 1% of those funds have been distributed over the course of the first 18 months of implementing Cleveland's lead law requiring all city rental units be inspected and receive a lead-safe certification.
Maurer said child lead poisoning rates in Cleveland continue despite the effort of the lead safe initiative. “We need to reassess why we are having these delays, why people do not understand what’s going on with the application process and how to apply; that’s vitally important to the success of this program," Hall said. “For this, it’s education, education, education, we have to continually educate the community.
