Milwaukee 's health commissioner says he needs more help from the CDC .

The environmental health team he had been working with at the CDC had been cut.

The CDC lost roughly 2,500 workers on Tuesday .

Many employees were immediately placed on administrative leave and are no longer able to access their work.

Milwaukee was using a substantial chunk of that money to improve ventilation in congregate care settings like homeless shelters and nursing homes.

The city had to end a partnership to train public health workers and another to start a neighborhood nursing program to visit people where they live.

Milwaukee ’s crisis began in January after a child tested positive for an elevated level of lead in their blood.
