What do CLEARCorps members do?

Education: Members inform and educate the community about the health hazard posed by lead dust and about methods for reducing the risk of lead dust exposures.

Cleaning: Using special detergents, cleaning
agents and equipment, teams clean housing
units completely: washing floors, windows,
and any other surfaces that can hold dust.

Paint Stabilization: Teams repair and repaint areas where paint is peeling, chipping, and deteriorating.

Carpentry: Members reduce the risk of exposure to lead dust through measures such as installing windows, fixing friction areas, or capping window wells.

Evaluation: After 6 months and 12 months, housing units are retested for lead dust and the team continues to conduct education.
