HUD Secretary Julián Castro also announced The Lead-Safe Homes, Lead-Free Kids Toolkit. “The health and safety of the families we serve is our first priority,” said Castro, in a press release. “Sadly, decades’ worth of lead hazards in homes continues to put families and young children at risk.

We’re proud to introduce this toolkit so we can better ensure children and their families have a safe, healthy place to call home.”
