As Michigan's childhood lead program, you can put a validated, low-cost lead screen in the field this fiscal year. New Hampshire DHHS just bought 100 kits as a FY2026 pilot. Here is the same thing, sized for your program.
For your program, the kit is a fast first-pass screen your inspectors run before the XRF, so the expensive equipment and staff time go where lead already showed up. It is the cheapest way to pre-screen a home before a full risk assessment, and a pilot fits inside leftover fiscal-year money.
The map finds where risk concentrates from public housing and poverty data. The kit, a methylammonium bromide reagent that lights up lead-paint dust under UV, confirms the actual hazard on the spot, before a child is exposed.
And we checked it against Michigan's own measured childhood blood-lead, county by county. It tracks. Hand it to your epidemiologist.
