Chewable surfaces are defined as all exterior surfaces of a residential structure, up to five feet from
the floor or ground, such as: a wall, stairs, deck, porch, railing, windows or doors that are readily
accessible to children under seven years of age, and all interior surfaces of a residential structure.
Lead content shall be tested by using an x-ray fluorescence analyzer or other method approved by
HUD. Test readings of 1 mg/cm or higher shall be considered positive for presence of lead based paint.
REQUIRED TREATMENT:
Treatment of lead based paint conditions must be included as part of the proposed rehabilitation
work. All chewable surfaces in any room found to contain lead based paint must be treated before final
inspection and approval of work. Similarly, all exterior chewable surfaces must be treated when they are
found to contain lead based paint.
Minimum treatment involves covering or removing the painted surfaces. Washing and repainting
without thorough removal or covering does not constitute adequate treatment. Covering can be achieved
by adding a layer of gypsum wallboard or fiberglass cloth barrier. Depending on the wall condition,
permanently attached, non-strippable wallpaper may be applied. Covering or replacing trim surfaces is
also permitted. Removal can be accomplished by scraping, heat treatment (infrared or coil type heat
6
guns) or chemicals. Machine sanding and propane torch use are not allowed.
I hereby acknowledge that I have read the specific requirements for lead based paint
contained in this Certification, and understand that my organization's project eligibility depends
upon compliance with the requirements contained in this document.

Program assistance may not, as a general rule, be provided to primarily religious entities for any secular or
religious activities.

or may be deemed to be, a religious or denominational institution or an organization operated for religious
purposes which is supervised or controlled by or operates in connection with a religious or denominational
institution or organization.
A religious entity that applies for and is awarded HOME Program funds for public service activities
must agree to the following:
[t will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of religion and

Agreement shall contain no sectarian or religious symbols or decorations; and
The funds received under this Agreement shall not be used to construct, rehabilitate, or restore any
facility which is owned by the Provider and in which the public services are to be provided. However,
minor repairs may be made if such repairs are directly related to the public services; are located in a
structure used exclusively for non-religious purposes; and constitute, in dollar terms, only a minor portion of
the HOME PROGRAM expenditure for the public services.
