About MHD's Childhood Lead Poisoning Primary Prevention Program
The City of Milwaukee Health Department (MHD) Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) operates a Primary Prevention Program to make properties lead-paint safe in Milwaukee. Through this program, eligible homeowners and/or tenants are provided grant money to fix lead-based paint hazards in the home.
Why windows? In older homes with lead-based paint, windows are a primary source of lead-based paint chips and leaded dust.
