Fort Wayne received the largest grant amount in Indiana, with South Bend and Michigan City both earning awards of $2.3 million.<\/p>\n<p>The resources will be used to remediate lead paint in approximately 140 Fort Wayne homes in high-risk census tracts, or areas with older homes and high levels of children living in poverty. City staff estimates approximately 67,000 Fort Wayne homes were built before 1978 and could therefore contain lead hazards. This represents 66 percent of the city&#8217;s housing stock.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright\" style=\"border-color:#cf2e2e\"><blockquote class=\"has-text-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><p>City staff estimates approximately 67,000 Fort Wayne homes were built before 1978 and could therefore contain lead hazards. This represents 66 percent of the city&#8217;s housing stock.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;These resources will go a long way in helping protect Fort Wayne&#8217;s children from the dangers of lead poisoning,&#8221; said Mayor Henry. &#8220;I applaud City staff for working proactively to make our neighborhoods safer for today&#8217;s residents and future generations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Exposure to even small amounts of lead can cause significant and long-lasting health issues for young children,&#8221; said Kelly Lundberg, director of the City&#8217;s Office of Housing and Neighborhood Services. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ll use these grant dollars to not only remediate lead paint but also educate residents about lead paint hazards and offer opportunities for free lead testing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lead paint can be remediated in several ways, such as replacing or repainting windows with peeling paint, which can cause lead dust to contaminate floors and toys. Walls can also be repainted, and carpet and exterior siding can be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>This federal funding will complement a recent $680,000 lead paint remediation grant the City received from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority in October. That grant will provide the resources needed to remediate lead paint in approximately 40 local homes. This brings the total lead remediation grant dollars awarded to the City to $3,859,000.<\/p>\n<p>Detailed information about the dangers of lead poisoning can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencountyhealth.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allen County Health Department&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='6fbac5e96fd12bd19d633a6f3f3a7785' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
