Name and Title of applicant representative: Agency Signature Date Title SCHEDULE G Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint and/or Lead-Based Paint Hazards Childhood lead poisoning is a major environmental health problem in the United States, especially for low-income families in poor living conditions. If not detected early, children with high levels of lead in their bodies can suffer from damage to the brain and nervous system, behavioral and learning problems (such as hyperactivity), slowed growth, hearing problems, and headaches. To prevent lead poisoning in young children, ESG grantees must comply with the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1973 and its applicable regulations found at 24 CFR 35, Parts A, B, M, and R. This document summarizes the lead-based paint requirements and provides guidance for carrying out each step. Under ESG, the rule is that a lead-based paint visual assessment must be completed for all units that meet the three following conditions: The household living in the unit is being assisted with ESG financial assistance (rent assistance, utilities assistance, utility/security deposits or arrears). • The unit was constructed prior to 1978 • A child under the age of six is or will be living in the unit Before ratification of a contract for housing sale or lease, sellers and landlords must: • Giv...
Program Site. Léogâne is a city and commune in the West department of Haiti located about 1 ½-2 hours west of Port-au-Prince. It was the epicenter of the January 2010 earthquake. Many NGOs operated out of Léogâne prior to the earthquake, but the city experienced a proliferation of NGOs focused on disaster response in the aftermath of the earthquake. At the time of our research in summer of 2012, many NGOs that came as part of the disaster response were starting to leave Léogâne and Haiti.
Program Site. Jolivert is a small village in the Northwest Department of Haiti. The Jolivert Program serves rural communities across Northwest and some of the Artibonite departments of Haiti. The region is very mountainous with limited infrastructure development. While the area has cellphone reception, few households have a household connection to water. Roads to many communities in the region are often washed out and may become impassible after rains. It often takes hours to travel relatively short distances. This creates a uniquely challenging environment for the DSI program operating out of Jolivert. The program employs a core salaried staff of four individuals, three technicians and one part-time administrator responsible for chlorine production, distributor trainings, promotions, monitoring, etc. Program technicians have recruited over 44 distributors that sell Gadyen Dlo and receive a profit margin off of sales. Two of the technicians conduct regular household visits (Xxxxxx, 2012a).
Program Site. The North program site operates primarily in the North Departments with a few communities in the Northeast and West Departments. Like the Jolivert communities, the North was largely unaffected by the 2010 earthquake. Communities in the North, however, are generally more developed than the communities that the Jolivert programs serves. Transportation is more reliable in the North. Roads are better-maintained and an airport operates out of the city of Cap Haitien which was the former capital city of the island. The North program headquarters are located in the historic town of Milot which is half an hour east of Cap Haitien. In January 2012, the program employed 3 field supervisors, one program coordinator who split time between the North and Léogâne, and 47 full-time water technicians who received a monthly salary to conduct household visits and received a margin on sales of Gadyen Dlo(Xxxxxx, 2012a).
