Community Projects

Lead poisoning prevention coalitions in New York State : Building Community Capacity

This project leverages the Environmental Health Sciences Center’s and Coalition to Prevent Lead Poisoning’s local lead poisoning prevention experience to build community capacity and foster lead coalitions in three upstate counties with high lead risk: Cayuga, Chemung, and Oneida . This project is funded by a one-year grant from the New York State Health Foundation.

Rochester's Coalition to Prevent Lead Poisoning

The Coalition to Prevent Lead Poisoning (CPLP) is an education and advocacy organization composed of over 100 individuals and community organizations dedicated to eliminating childhood lead poisoning in Monroe County by 2010. The mission is to provide leadership and advocacy to empower the community and its residents to prevent the lead poisoning of children by creating an environment that is free of lead hazards, facilitates the creation of a system that protects children, creates jobs, and enhances property values.
