Lead
Hazard Evaluation
The
grantee must ensure that:
- All painted surfaces to be disturbed by the rehabilitation are
tested
for lead-based paint, or
- Lead-based paint is presumed
to be present on all those surfaces.
Lead
Hazard Reduction
All
rehabilitation work must be completed in a way that does no harm:
- If the paint testing shows that no lead-based paint is present
on surfaces to be disturbed by the rehabilitation, no lead hazard
reduction activities or special work practices are required.
- If paint testing shows lead-based paint is present or if lead-based
paint is presumed to be present, the grantee must ensure that
all the work performed on all surfaces known or presumed to
have lead-based paint is done using lead
safe work practices.
- Workers are not required to have special training or supervision
to do this work, however, it is highly recommend to help ensure
that proper practices are followed. See HUD's guidance
on training/supervising participants in volunteer programs.
- After work is complete, the unit must pass a clearance
examination.
Communication
with Residents
The
grantee must ensure that residents receive the following communications:
- Lead Hazard Information Pamphlet. The resident must receive
this pamphlet
prior to any renovation work. If the grantee can document that
the resident received the pamphlet previously (e.g. from the contractor),
the grantee is not required to provide the pamphlet again but
the receipt must be documented.
- Notice of Lead Hazard Evaluation or Presumption. Within
15 days of an evaluation or presumption, the resident must receive
a Notice
of Lead Hazard Evaluation or Presumption.
- Notice of Lead Hazard Reduction. Within 15 days of the
completion of lead hazard reduction work, the resident must receive
a Notice
of Lead Hazard Reduction.

HOME rental projects only, the grantee must ensure that the
owner performs ongoing
maintenance.
