Some Syracuse neighborhoods that have the highest levels of lead poisoning are slowly being made safer. Jeff is a landlord who was able to utilize a Central New York Community Foundation program to help reduce the threat by replacing doors and windows for his tenants.
“That’s significant because windows, because they move, create friction, which can disturb the paint that the window casement are painted with, which in 90% of the homes in Syracuse can include lead paint and then release lead dust in the window casement that can be inhaled by children in the house, said Jeff.

FULTON - Oswego Industries Inc., a Fulton-based nonprofit agency that supports adults with developmental disabilities, has received a $600 grant from the Allen Speiser Memorial Vocational Rehabilitation Fund, an affiliate fund of the Central New York Community Foundation.
The grant will enable the agency to purchase two computers for its Career and Employment Services. This equipment will allow Oswego Industries to provide critical skill building opportunities for people with disabilities seeking office jobs. Due in part to the pandemic and the number of employees still working from home, there are few opportunities for people to develop these skills by shadowing or interning at area companies.
