Deleading Overview

Landlords cannot turn away households with children because of lead, but children cannot live around lead hazards. We must delead! So what must we do, exactly? This presentation is fully updated to reflect tigher CDC, EPA and Massachusetts standards, as well as the recent $2 million Massachusetts lead grant from HUD. It teaches the basics of lead remediation:

• Why lead is hazardous
• Where we find lead
• Deleading methods
• Letters of interim control
• Certificates of Deleading Compliance
• How to delead with renters still in the unit
• What to say when a renter informs you they have a baby on the way (hint: delead, don't discriminate)
• Tax credits and grant funding
• Using the new CLPPP database 2.0.

This is not a moderate risk deleader training. It discusses about the deleading training that is available (typically, 16 hours). You wiull end up better prepared to either take the deleader training course or hire a licensed deleader contractor.
