AI Summary

This bill, the Keep Children and Families Safe from Lead Hazards Act, requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to conduct an annual risk assessment of properties receiving tenant-based or project-based rental assistance to identify properties with the greatest risk of exposing children under 6 years old to lead hazards, including lead-based paint and lead service lines. The bill also requires HUD to develop an action plan to remediate, control, and safeguard against these lead hazards, and to submit an annual report to Congress on the properties with lead-based paint or lead service lines and the number of young children living at these properties. Additionally, the bill directs HUD to include lead-based paint and lead service lines as exigent health and safety deficiencies during uniform physical condition inspections, ensuring these issues are tracked and property owners are held accountable for addressing them.
