A6: We know that redlining and the years if disinvestment in certain communities has resulted in substandard housing. The populations we primarily serve in omaha are those in the redlining areas where we also have the people with the lowest income. #NHHMchat #NHHM2022

A7: At HHO we believe that safe and affordable housing is a human right. People shouldn't be forced to choose between cost and health safety. #NHHMchat #NHHM2022

It's National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week! This year our very own Lead detective will be teaching us all about it! Make sure to check in on National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH) Twitter chat: Wed. OCT. 26TH! #NLPPW2022 #NLPPW #healthyhousingomaha #LeadPoisoning

Lead is a metal that can be found in many items & can be harmful for us, specially to children. It can get into your bones & make your bones weak + also affect other parts like the brain, liver &kidneys. The good thing is that lead poisoning is preventable. #NLPPW2022

A: Healthy Housing Omaha, from Omaha Nebraska. We know that there are no safe levels of lead in the human body and work hard to educate the community on safe practices to prevent lead poisoning from happening. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2022

Support for organizations already doing the work. Identifying which organizations in the community are already working to reduce lead exposure and providing more funding to their work so that more families can be helped. #NLPPWchat #NLPPW2022

A2: We know that there are no safe levels for lead in the human body. Instead of only focusing on those who test at or above that level, we should focus on any child who has lead present in their blood so that we can avoid further exposure and poisoning #NLPPW2022 #NLPPWchat

A3: Any child should be tested for lead regardless of where they live. While some have an increased chance of exposure based on where they live, others might be exposed to lead while visiting other family members or go to schools/daycares in areas that might have lead. #NLPPW2022

A4a: The City of Omaha City of Omaha Lead Information Office has a website omahalead.org where Omaha residents can looks up their address and see if their home is within the Omaha Lead Site. #NLPPW2022 #NLPPW2022

A4b: During a previous partnership with City of Omaha Lead Information Office, both organizations worked together to create the gotlead.org website where families can learn more about the health effects of lead and forms of exposure. #NLPPW2022 #NLPPW2022

A1b: Lead poisoning prevention and remediation is expensive and time consuming but pays off in dividends in reducing healthcare costs, incarnation rates, and improves test scores. #NLPPW2022 #NLPPWchat

A5: In addition to education, we need to make lead remediation more accessible for families. #NLPPW2022 #NLPPWchat
