FINAL PROJECT AGREEMENT SIGNED AUGUST 29, 2000September 30th, 2014
FiledSeptember 30th, 2014Over the past five years, the LSB program has used a combination of federal, state, and local resources to abate LBP hazards in 707 privately owned hous- ing units, while undertaking an aggressive com- munity outreach and education campaign to make residents aware of the severe risks of lead in the living environment. During the next 36-month phase of its program, LSB is targeting the neigh- borhoods of Roxbury and Dorchester. These neigh- borhoods have a concentration of older housing, the vast majority of which is likely to have lead contamination. LSB will complete lead hazard control or abatement activities in a minimum of 180 housing units in one- to four-unit buildings, occupied by low- or moderate-income families with children aged six years and younger. Funding will be provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
