Funding

General Information

CDC provides funding to state and local health departments to do the following:

• Develop and/or continue to implement childhood lead poisoning elimination plans;
• Target resources to those children at highest risk for lead poisoning;
• Develop or enhance surveillance systems to monitor childhood lead poisoning prevention efforts;
• Assure primary prevention activities among pregnant women and those families with children at high risk for lead poisoning;
• Assure timely and appropriate case management of children with elevated blood lead levels;
• Develop or enhance strategic partnerships with organizations and agencies involved in environmental and child health activities;
• Coordinate with organizations and agencies involved in lead-based paint hazard reduction activities and development of protective policy;
• Evaluate programmatic impact on childhood lead poisoning prevention efforts.

Funded programs are expected to serve as catalysts and models for the development of non-funded programs and activities in other states and communities. Further, funded programs should create community awareness of the adverse health effects associated with childhood lead poisoning (e.g., among community and business leaders, the medical community, parents, educators, and property owners).

Health departments are expected to work with interagency and community-based organizations that support the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program’s agenda. These organizations may represent the interests of public health, the medical community, housing owners and organizations, business, labor, parents, and residents of the community. The organizations may include, but are not limited to, neighborhood groups, churches, fraternal organizations, civic organizations, local businesses, and financial institutions that have a vested interest in the viability of the community. Community organizations should be encouraged and supported in their efforts to help with program components such as follow-up, education, and hazard remediation.

In 2003, CDC awarded $31.7 million to 42 state and local health departments to develop and implement comprehensive lead poisoning prevention efforts. To contact a childhood lead poisoning prevention program (CLPPP) in your area please see the CLPP map.
