Southern Nevada Health District — Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention

About This Program

The Southern Nevada Health District coordinates the Nevada Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (NvCLPPP), providing free blood lead level testing for children under 6, home risk assessments, and referrals to remediation programs for families in lead-hazard housing. The program was grant-funded through UNLV through 2026 and serves all of Clark County. Families with lead-affected children in pre-1978 homes can be connected to the City of Las Vegas lead remediation program or other resources.

Free testing and referral — not a direct home improvement grant; connect to City of Las Vegas lead remediation (702-229-7444) for actual remediation assistance
