Cleveland Lead Advocates for Safe Housing (CLASH) is an all volunteer, largely self funded coalition of 9 community based organizations, working to make Cleveland Lead Safe.

CLASH is fighting for the full and timely implementation of the Cleveland Lead Safe Certificate ordinance, expanding child lead testing for Clevelanders who are at risk of lead poisoning, and promoting community awareness of lead safety.
