OHHLHC

OHHLHC stands for Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control. It is a government agency that works to protect people from lead poisoning and other hazards in their homes.

One example of what OHHLHC does is provide grants to help homeowners and landlords make their homes safer. They might use the money to remove lead paint or fix other hazards that could make people sick.

Another example is that OHHLHC works with local governments to create laws and regulations that protect people from lead and other hazards. For example, they might work with a city to require landlords to test for lead paint before renting out a home.

These examples show how OHHLHC is working to make homes safer for everyone. By providing funding and working with local governments, they are helping to prevent lead poisoning and other health problems that can be caused by hazards in the home.
