LEAD -BASED PAINT HAZARD REDUCTION <br /> The Alameda County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (ACLPPP), a department of the Alameda <br /> County Community Development Agency, plays a primary role in addressing prevention and <br /> treatment of lead poisoning county -wide. Its lead hazard reduction program is focused within the <br /> County Services Area (CSA), the special district which funds lead poisoning prevention efforts in the <br /> Cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Emeryville, and Oakland. Pleasanton is not currently a member of the <br /> CSA. <br /> Resource Development <br /> ACLPPP provides technical assistance to local agencies to encourage the incorporation of lead -safe <br /> practices into existing and planned programs affecting health, housing and environmental health. In <br /> order to achieve the Federal and State 2010 goal for the elimination of childhood lead poisoning, <br /> significant resources will be needed t educate property owners of their responsibilities, develop a <br /> trained construction workforce, provide financial assistance for low- income privately -owned housing <br /> and develop a compliance infrastructure of local agencies. <br /> ACLPPP applied under the FY 2005 SuperNOFA for funds to continue the Lead Hazard Control <br /> Grant Program and Healthy Homes Demonstration Project and is seeking out additional resources, <br /> opportunities and partnerships to support the 2010 goal. <br /> Integration into Related Programs <br /> The Housing and Community Development Department conducts lead -based paint inspections on <br /> tenant -based rental assistance for HOME and HOPWA units built before 1978 on an annual basis. <br /> Units that are managed by the Alameda County Housing Authority also conduct lead inspections as a <br /> part of the Housing Quality Standard (HQS) Inspections for all Shelter Plus Care participants. Lead <br /> based paint inspections would also take place for any homeownership programs administered by <br /> HOME, CDBG, Alameda County Housing Trust Fund and Redevelopment funding. Each HOME <br /> jurisdiction also has its own lead -based paint inspection program and requirement that are in <br /> compliance with HUD regulations. <br /> Starting in July 2010, the City of Pleasanton will begin to routinely compile lead paint data for each <br /> new residential rehabilitation project processed through the Housing Rehabilitation Program <br /> (administered by Neighborhood Solutions), including assumed lead present, lead safe work practices <br /> followed, testing, abatement, and clearance test performed. <br /> Action Plan FY10 <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Page 35 <br />
