§ 35.1000 Purpose and applicability. (24 CFR Part 35)
Operative Text
(a) The purpose of this subpart K is to establish procedures to eliminate as far as practicable lead-based paint hazards in a residential property that receives Federal assistance under certain HUD programs for acquisition, leasing, support services, or operation. Acquisition, leasing, support services, and operation do not include mortgage insurance, sale of federally-owned housing, project-based or tenant-based rental assistance, rehabilitation assistance, or assistance to public housing. For requirements pertaining to those activities or types of assistance, see the applicable subpart of this part. (b) The grantee or participating jurisdiction may assign to a subrecipient or other entity the responsibilities set forth in this subpart. (c)(1) The requirements of this subpart shall not apply to HOME funds which are committed to a specific project in accordance with § 92.2 of this title before September 15, 2000. Such projects shall be subject to the requirements of § 92.355 of this title that were in effect at the time of project commitment, or the requirements of this subpart. (2) For purposes of the CDBG Entitlement program and the Indian Housing Block Grant program, the requirements of this subpart shall apply to activities (except those otherwise exempted) for which funds are first obligated on or after September 15, 2000. For the purposes of the State, HUD-Administered Small Cities, and Insular Areas CDBG programs, the requirements of this subpart shall apply to all covered activities (except those otherwise exempted) for which grant funding is awarded to the unit of local government by the State or HUD, as applicable, on or after September 15, 2000. For the purposes of the Emergency Shelter Grant Program (42 U.S.C. 11371-11378) and the formula grants awarded under the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA) (42 U.S.C. 12901 et. seq.), the requirements of this subpart shall apply to activities for which program funds are first obligated on or after September 15, 2000. (3) For the purposes of competitively awarded grants under the HOPWA Program and the Supportive Housing Program (42 U.S.C. 11481-11389), the requirements of this subpart shall apply to grants awarded under Notices of Funding Availability published on or after September 15, 2000. (4) For the purposes of the Indian CDBG program (§ 1003.607 of this title), the requirements of this subpart shall not apply to funds whose notice of funding availability is announced or funding letter is sent before September 15, 2000. Such project grantees shall be subject to the regulations in effect at the time of announcement or funding letter.
Section 35.1000 of 24 CFR Part 35 establishes the scope and purpose of Subpart K, which sets out procedures for reducing lead-based paint hazards in residential properties that receive certain types of federal HUD assistance — specifically for acquisition, leasing, support services, or operation. Notably, the rule carves out several categories of assistance, such as mortgage insurance, rental assistance, rehabilitation, and public housing, which are governed by other subparts of Part 35. The rule also sets program-specific effective dates, generally tying applicability to whether funds were obligated or grants were awarded on or after September 15, 2000.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers participating in HUD-assisted programs covered by § 35.1000 — such as those receiving CDBG, HOME, Emergency Shelter Grant, or HOPWA funding for acquisition, leasing, support services, or operation — generally ensure they understand which subpart of 24 CFR Part 35 governs their specific program, since Subpart K does not apply to all forms of federal assistance. Compliant operators typically confirm the date on which their program funds were first obligated or awarded, as § 35.1000 ties the rule's applicability to specific funding timelines that vary by program. Grantees and participating jurisdictions should also be aware that responsibilities under this subpart may be assigned to subrecipients or other entities, making clear documentation of those assignments a common practice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants living in housing that receives certain HUD program funds for acquisition, leasing, support services, or operation may have protections under the lead-based paint hazard reduction procedures established by § 35.1000 of 24 CFR Part 35. Because the rule's applicability depends on the type of assistance and when funds were obligated, tenants who have concerns about lead-based paint conditions in federally assisted housing can inquire with the administering grantee or participating jurisdiction about which requirements apply to their building. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's regional offices can be useful resources for understanding whether a specific property falls within the scope of Subpart K or another subpart of Part 35.
