Worcester Lead Action Collaborative (WLAC)
The Worcester Lead Action Collaborative (WLAC) is a joint effort of public and private agencies and neighborhood organizations committed to eliminating childhood lead poisoning in Worcester by 2010. WLAC members have come together out of concern for the health of Worcester's children, put in jeopardy by our city's status as a high-risk community for childhood lead poisoning in Massachusetts.
Our Goal:
WLAC is working to develop and implement a comprehensive action plan to eliminate lead poisoning in Worcester and is committed to increasing the availability of lead-safe housing in the city, removing lead from homes and soil, building community awareness and improving public policy.
