Keep Children and Families Safe from Lead Hazards Act of 2023
This bill requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct annual risk assessments in HUD-assisted housing (like public housing or Section 8 properties) to identify lead hazards, prioritizing properties where children under 6 live. It mandates HUD to create action plans for remediation and include lead hazards as "urgent health risks" in property inspections, requiring owners to fix issues. HUD must also report annually to Congress on properties with lead-based paint or lead service lines and the number of young children residing there. The law directly affects HUD-assisted housing owners and tenants, focusing on preventing lead exposure in vulnerable children.
