Press Conference: Advocates Call Out Cleveland City Council Leadership for Stalling Critical Lead Safe Legislation
Press Conference: Advocates Call Out Cleveland City Council Leadership for Stalling Critical Lead Safe Legislation
Join CLASH in the City Hall Rotunda on Monday, March 2, 2026, at 10:30 AM to address critical issues regarding the lead safe legislation.
Key themes of the press conference will include:
Funding Management Challenges: Despite a $93 million coalition fund, progress is hindered by our city’s lead poisoning crisis and improved outcomes for all.
Lead Safe Certification: A 2019 ordinance requires all rental properties built before 1978 to obtain a Lead Safe Certification. However, compliance is a major hurdle, with only about half of the city's 90,000 rental units registered as of recent reports. Administrative failures where the city had to return millions in unspent federal and state grants.
Declining Testing Rates: While the number of children with elevated blood lead levels has trended downward, this is partially because testing rates dropped significantly before the pandemic and have not fully recovered.
