"Elimine el Plomo"
Examina su Casa. Examina su Hijo.
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded Indiana Black Expo, Inc. (IBE) a Lead Outreach Program Grant to develop a statewide marketing campaign and community programs to assist in decreasing the lead exposure rates.
IBE’s two-year campaign will focus on several key elements to inform the community of the dangers of lead poisoning, how children become exposed, and how to prevent that exposure. For more information, please call 1-800-433-0746.
