Lead-Safe, Healthy, Historic Home Repair Trainings & Grants

 
These trainings teach safe, affordable ways to address health hazards (lead,
carbon monoxide, mold, pests & other asthma triggers) and improve energy
efficiency in older homes.  You will see demonstrations of lead-based paint
preparation & removal, and repairs to windows, doors, plaster walls, &
exterior siding.  The trainer, Dennis Livingston, is a national expert on
historic restoration, lead-safe repairs, and healthy home maintenance.  For
