The guidance is for public housing agencies (PHAs) and private owners of properties using HCVs and PBVs. The Notice focuses on the recent changes to HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule (LSHR), which became effective on February 13, 2017. The National Low Income Housing Coalition has a detailed summary of the guidance.
