Watch EPA Administrator Michael Regan highlight the importance of replacing lead service lines across the country. This is a critical first step to protect our children and communities from lead poisoning - https://t.co/nThtc2S1Yo
We need to invest at scale in healthy housing with contributions from cross sector stakeholders & beneficiaries-health, education, housing, energy. Primary prevention remediation for lead and not just reactive interventions. States should fund radon mitigation programs. #NHHM2021
Q3: In 2020 many families spent more time at home, millions of which have lead paint & other hazards, & many communities had decreased child lead testing rates. What efforts will reverse these trends to support #LeadFreeHousing? What additional resources are needed? #NHHM2021

Q4: I think we need to build support for creating program funding for radon mitigation to help owners or permit other housing funds to be used more flexibly for radon mitigation measures. Some high risk states have testing but no remediation program funds.
