Bill overview
The Lead-Safe Housing for Kids Act of 2020 aims to protect young children from lead poisoning by strengthening regulations for federally assisted housing. It requires property owners to conduct thorough lead-based paint risk assessments when children under six are expected to live in their units, and mandates prompt remediation if hazards are found. The bill also establishes a demonstration program to help pay for lead abatement and provides notice to families about their fair housing rights and lead poisoning risks. Finally, it updates lead assessment procedures and expands notice requirements for assisted families.
