SP-65 Lead -based Paint Hazards - 91.415, 91.215(i) Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards While lead based paint was banned in 1978 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), it is still a significant problem in cities where the housing stock is relatively old and built before the ban. In San Leandro, about 80 percent of the housing stock was built before 1979. Alameda County Healthy Homes Department (ACHHD) has a HUD Lead Hazard Control grant to remediate lead hazards in qualifying Alameda County housing units that are vacant, or occupied by a low income household with either a child under 6, a pregnant woman, or a child under 6 years who visits twice a week for at least three hours each time. In FY 2018-2019 ACHHD completed lead evaluations at XX pre-1978 low-income housing units. There were 3 San Leandro households who participated in the program (including one referral from CDBG fund recipient, Rebuilding Together who provides minor home repair to City residents) and whose housing units are now lead -safe. The ACHHD was recently awarded a 42 month lead hazard control grant which began January 1st, 2020. The ACHHD will market to and expects to enroll eligible Alameda County properties into the program which will complete 144 units County wide over the grant period. ACHHD provides lead safety and healthy housing training. Since July 1, 2015, the ACHHD has provided lead safety training to 2 households in the City of San Leandro. The ACHHD will work to make lead safety training opportunities available for City of San Leandro staff, organizations, and property owners. The ACHHD's outreach and education activities promote lead safety, regulatory compliance, and participation in ACHHD lead hazard control grant programs to property owners, property managers. The ACHHD coordinates lead poisoning prevention outreach activities with the Alameda County Public Health and health provider agencies. Outreach partners and locations for property owner presentations, staff trainings, and literature distribution have included The ACHHD participates in local collaborations and with partners including The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule effective April 22, 2010 requires that contractors be EPA -lead certified prior to beginning work on structures built before 1978. The City, specifically its Building & Safety Services Division, requires contractors, who are working on homes built prior to 1978, to demonstrate that they have satisfied the EPA law prior to providing them the City building permits needed. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? The City's old housing stock increases the risk of lead -based paint hazard. Approximately 30 percent of renter -occupied units are built before 1979. For owner -occupied units, the figure is 48 percent. To date there is not much data on the extent of lead poisoning and hazards in the City of San Leandro. The City will work to take action as necessary to further understand if there is reason to be concerned with households living in housing units constructed prior to 1979 with regard to lead -based paint hazards as required by HUD regulations.
