This bill, the Lead-Safe Housing for Kids Act of 2022, amends the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act to establish additional procedures for families with children under the age of 6 residing in certain federally assisted housing. The key provisions include: requiring owners to conduct initial risk assessments for lead-based paint hazards in these homes, mandating the control of any identified hazards within 30 days, and allowing for emergency relocation of families with young children if hazards are not addressed. The bill also establishes a demonstration program to cover the costs of abatement in homes receiving tenant-based rental assistance and requires notices to be provided to families on fair housing rights and lead-based paint risks. Additionally, the bill authorizes appropriations to cover the costs of implementation and enforcement.
