Keep Children and Families Safe from Lead Hazards Act of 2023
This bill requires annual assessments of lead hazards in HUD-assisted housing (like Section 8 properties) to identify risks for children under 6. It mandates HUD to create action plans for remediation, prioritize properties with young children, and report findings to Congress. The law also adds lead paint and lead service lines to mandatory property inspections as urgent safety issues, requiring property owners to address these hazards. It directly affects HUD-managed housing properties and their owners, focusing on concrete safety upgrades rather than new funding or penalties.
