HUD issued its Final Rule on Lead Safe Housing, effective February 13, 2017 and with a compliance date of July 13, 2017.

On January 13, 2017, HUD published an amendment to the Lead Safe Housing Rule on responding promptly to cases of children under age 6 living in certain categories of HUD-assisted housing who have elevated blood lead levels. The EBL amendment, its HUD press release, and its regulatory impact assessment (the cost-benefit analysis) are posted on this page.  Over the coming weeks, guidance documents linked from this page will be updated to reflect the EBL amendment, and new guidance documents will be added to this page.  Keep checking for these updates.

This rule will cover about 3 million HUD-assisted housing units built before 1978, the year lead-based paint was banned for residential use. Of these homes, about 500,000 are estimated to have children under age six residing in them.
