24 C.F.R. § 92.355
§ 92.355 Lead-based paint. (24 CFR Part 92)
Operative Text
Housing assisted with HOME funds is subject to the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 4821-4846), the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851-4856), and implementing regulations at part 35, subparts A, B, J, K, M and R of this title.
Under § 92.355, residential properties that receive HOME program funding must comply with federal lead-based paint safety requirements. These rules are designed to reduce the risk of lead-based paint hazards, particularly for children and other vulnerable occupants. The provision ties HOME-assisted housing to a layered set of federal statutes and their implementing regulations covering topics such as disclosure, evaluation, and hazard reduction.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of HOME-assisted housing are expected to understand that § 92.355 activates a set of federal lead-based paint obligations that go beyond simple disclosure. Compliant operators generally ensure that properties are evaluated, that any identified hazards are addressed according to the applicable regulatory subparts, and that required notices and records are maintained. Familiarity with the implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 35 is a practical starting point for understanding what specific actions apply to a given property type or funding activity.

Section § 92.355 means that tenants living in HOME-assisted housing are entitled to the protections established under federal lead-based paint law, including rights related to disclosure of known hazards and remediation requirements. If a tenant believes these protections are not being honored, options generally include raising the issue with the local HOME participating jurisdiction, contacting HUD, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with federal housing programs. Keeping records of any communications or conditions related to lead paint can be useful when pursuing any of these paths.
