Lead Based Paint Information:
On September 15, 2000 the federal " Lead Safe Housing Rule" took effect. The requirements in this rule apply to all housing built before 1978, the year lead-based paint was banned for consumer use in the United States. The purpose of this rule is to protect young children from lead-based paint hazards in housing that is financially assisted by the federal government or being sold by the government.
To comply with the rule, each pre-1978 home is inspected for lead paint. If lead paint exists in the home, the housing rehabilitation program will include lead interim controls in the repair work to be done on the home, at no cost to the homeowner.
