Community Action Duluth

Community action duluth (cad) has launched the "lead and healthy homes" program, a vital initiative aimed at eliminating dangerous lead from homes at no cost to residents. The program not only provides essential lead testing for children and pregnant adults but also includes a job training component designed to bring more women and people of color into the lead abatement field. This dual focus on public health and workforce development ensures safer homes while creating meaningful career opportunities in the community.

'connect forward', the coaching program at cad, assisted individuals in improving their credit scores, increase their net worth, and obtain a recognized certificate or credential.
