Speak Out Against the Elimination of CDC's Healthy Homes and Lead Program

Solving lead poisoning, a major public health problem, requires continued CDC leadership. The President’s FY 2012 budget proposed merging CDC’s $34 million Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention Program with the $31 million Asthma Control Program and reducing their combined budgets to $30 million. The Senate Appropriations Committee eliminates funding for the program and transfers healthy homes to Home Visiting programs, and House appropriators are cutting environmental health. Read the NSHHC Position Statement. Find out what you can do to help and read the impact statement for your state.
