Question of the Month - Do I Need Training in Lead-Based Paint

The answer is "Yes" if any of the units you own on the Section 8 program were built before 1978, and are of the type that house families with children (that is, over 1 BR units). The trainings offered below at Cuyahoga Community College are FREE, and will cover the requirements under the HUD Lead Paint in Assisted Housing Rule.

There are very few trainings on the lead-based paint rule that are offered free of charge, so don‚t miss this opportunity.
