This Project Grant award of $497,111 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving (EJCPS) Cooperative Agreement Program (CFDA 66.306) will support the Clean Water Fund (CWF) in conducting lead exposure reduction efforts in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The key activities include: 1) forming steering committees in Chelsea and Malden, MA to guide lead service line (LSL) assessments, identify eligible residents for assistance, and prioritize other lead exposure sources beyond drinking water; 2) collaborating with Boston University to analyze data and generate public health materials; 3) providing community outreach and education in MA and Philadelphia, PA through the CWF's Lead Hazard Awareness Program. CWF will also make subawards totaling $48,000 to two community-based organizations in Philadelphia to assist with recruitment, community engagement, and policy support. The anticipated deliverables include reports, multilingual educational materials, presentations, and evaluation of the project's progress toward eliminating LSLs in Malden and Chelsea, and empowering Philadelphia residents to address lead hazards.
