What regulations govern lead paint in public housing?

The Lead Safe Housing Rule is the correct answer because it specifically addresses lead-based paint hazards in federally owned or federally assisted housing, including public housing. This regulation was implemented to ensure that properties meet certain safety standards regarding lead exposure and requires that lead hazards be identified and controlled before a family with children can move in. It mandates inspections and risk assessments, along with remediation efforts to mitigate any identified hazards, thus helping to protect vulnerable populations, especially children, from the dangers of lead poisoning.

In contrast, the Residential Lead Hazard Reduction Act, while related to lead hazard management, does not specifically target public housing in the same manner as the Lead Safe Housing Rule. The Clean Air Act primarily regulates air quality and pollutants and does not focus on lead paint in housing, while the Housing Choice Voucher Program deals with rental assistance and does not directly address lead paint regulations. Thus, the Lead Safe Housing Rule is the key regulation governing lead paint in public housing.
