“We’re honored to win this award and to be part of the 513 Bus’s services. We look forward to engaging with even more families this year,” said Stephanie Gibson, who accepted the award on behalf of the program.
The award was presented by commissioner Summerow Dumas, who praised the lead team for their proactive, community-centered approach to addressing lead hazards. During the presentation, she highlighted the critical role this work plays in protecting children across Hamilton County and reducing the long-term impacts of lead exposure in young children.
The Lead Hazard Reduction Program helps remove lead paint and improve conditions in homes and units built before 1978. The program serves low-income families with children under 6, pregnant women, or households where a young child spends time. Eligible families receive an average of $25,000 or more in home repairs, including replacements for windows, garage doors and other costly structures.
