Westcott Community Center Serving the needs of the community

.

The Westcott Community Center is a community partner with the City of Syracuse to help keep lead dust away from your young children. 

How much of a hazard is lead dust? More children are poisoned by exposure to lead dust from lead-based paint in older homes than by any other source, usually through normal hand-to-mouth activity after getting lead dust on their hands and toys.

The program works like this: 

The City of Syracuse's Lead Hazard Control Program provides qualified homeowners and landlords financial assistance to help reduce lead paint hazards in houses located in the City of Syracuse. MORE..
