The HOME programs are impacted by HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Regulations.
In 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued rules for renovation. They apply to renovation in pre-1978 housing (target housing). They also apply to pre-1978 child occupied facilities (daycare centers, kindergartens). Beginning April 22, 2010, renovators must be certified. They must also follow lead-safe work practices. The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) will carry out these rules in Iowa. Certified people will be called “lead-safe Renovators”.
