520 _a"Seven-year-old Janiya Williams, poisoned by lead paint, lives with her grandmother in a crumbling house near Detroit's Indian Village. Janiya is the kind of child Congress had in mind when it set aside $313 million over the last five years to remove lead from homes in low-income neighborhoods across the country. But Janiya's home remains contaminated, even though her grandmother has tried for two years to get some of the money. The reason: The rules of a tangled bureaucracy exclude her grandmother from qualifying." (DETROIT FREE PRESS) This article details lead-paint hazards and suggests that "Michigan's lead-abatement efforts are a confusing patchwork that often fails to deliver help to the state's neediest children."
