HUD Visual Assessment Training

What does the regulation require?

For certain programs such as tenant-based Section 8 rental assistance, the new HUD Regulation on Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Housing and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance requires:
  • Visual assessment of housing units for deteriorated paint
  • The stabilization and repair of all deteriorated paint
  • The visual assessor must be trained to perform a visual assessment

You will need to identify deteriorated paint in the units you evaluate. All deteriorated paint must be stabilized.
