LAMPP Project
Hartford, CT

The Connecticut Citizen Research Group in contract with Connecticut Children’s Medical Center’s Lead Action for Medicaid Primary Prevention (LAMPP) was designated by the Department of Social Services to carry out two federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants to control lead-based paint hazards in eligible residential housing units.

A portion of the funds were allocated for encouragement of workforce development, economic development, and job creation in the state. As a result, EnviroScience was awarded a contract to provide a US EPA/CT DPH certified Lead Abatement Worker Training Course for very low-income individuals interested in pursuing a career in the field. EnviroScience was also responsible to actively work to help successful trainees obtain employment through suggestions and referrals of available jobs.
