<br /> -- DRAFT -- <br />2025-2029 ConPlan & FY 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan <br />Page 71 of 90 <br /> <br />standards into local permitting processes ensures that lead hazards are properly addressed during <br />renovations, maintaining safe housing conditions. <br /> <br />3. Program Outreach and Public Engagement: <br /> <br />The City’s housing procedures also include outreach and education, led by ACHHD, to engage property <br />owners, tenants, and contractors in understanding and mitigating lead hazards. Policies encourage <br />property owners to take advantage of programs offering lead hazard remediation funds, such as the <br />“Affordable Lead-Safe Housing” Program. Moreover, ACHHD’s efforts to provide lead safety training and <br />organize community presentations are integrated into housing policies, ensuring that property managers <br />and contractors are informed about lead-safe practices and regulatory compliance. This education is a <br />crucial part of keeping housing policies proactive about health and safety risks. <br /> <br />4. Housing Code Enforcement: <br /> <br />Policies ensure that City housing codes are enforced in line with HUD’s lead safety standards. The <br />requirement for EPA-certified contractors is an example of how the City integrates safety measures into <br />its housing maintenance and improvement processes. Lead safety checks, and the enforcement of <br />renovation standards form part of the broader housing code enforcement strategy. <br /> <br />By combining these actions with federal compliance guidelines, the City effectively integrates lead hazard <br />control, outreach, and enforcement into its housing policies, ensuring safer housing and adherence to <br />public health standards.
