In June 2005, MDCH engaged Heathy Housing Solutions to provide lead poisoning primary prevention strategic planning technical assistance to the cities of Flint, Hamtramck, and Highland Park, MI. Solutions' work included an analytical review of the childhood lead poisoning problem, collecting key data, interviewing local stakeholders, preparing a needs assessment, and developing a baseline organizational structure and plan in each city capable of supporting a viable, sustainable primary prevention and lead hazard control program. Solutions made three field trips to each city, with Hamtramck and Highland Park being considered one location since they are adjacent towns and are both surrounded by Detroit. As part of its last visit to Hamtramck and Highland Park, Solutions helped initiate and then assisted in moderating a local Lead-Safe Advisory Council Summit and Forum meeting. The project was completed September 30, 2005.
