An in-kind match of $1,468,862 (49% of the LHRD grant) will be contributed by DPH itself and partners which include many community-based and public agencies. DPH will expend 90% of the LHRD funds on direct costs and 10% on Administrative Costs and 100% of the HHS grant funds on direct costs. The proposed program will target high-risk areas in Los Angeles City, including two Promise Zone areas, along with the cities and unincorporated areas impacted by decades of lead air emissions from the recently closed Exide lead battery recycling plant, as shown in Factor 2 Attachment 1. The grant will be used to remediate lead hazards in 151 units occupied by low and very low-income families with children under the age of six. With more than 200,000 pre1940 units (63% rental) and 7,291 children aged 0-6 years with EBLs in the past five years in the target area, the need for lead hazard control in Los Angeles County is great. DPH Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) is the agency responsible for childhood lead poisoning prevention in Los Angeles County. Since 1991, the CLPPP Program has provided case management and lead investigations for over 6,555 cases. CLPPP was the recipient of a HUD Grant (CALHB0175-01), completing 100% of its goal, training 78 persons as lead inspector/assessors, supervisors or workers and establishing a public and private infrastructure for lead hazard control. The program will be carried out by a four-person LHRD team supervised by the Program Director, Maurice Pantoja. The LHRD Program will provide lead hazard control County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health 2017 Application for HUD LHRD Grant and health homes program services through a network of contractors and partner organizations. The LHRD Program will be supported (in kind) by a talented and dedicated pool of DPH staff to ensure that the Program meets and exceeds its goals and objectives. LHRD will partner with a wide variety of other public agencies and CBOs to reach property owners, tenants, single-family homeowners. Grant partners include Esperanza Community Housing, Impact Assessment, Inc., Los Angeles County Office of Education, Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Programs, Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis, California Department of Toxic Substances Control, and the cities of Los Angeles, Maywood, and Commerce. Of the 151 units to be remediated, 69 are estimated to be owner-occupied and 82 renteroccupied by low and very low income families with children under six years of age. Units occupied by children with EBLs have the highest priority for interventions. As needed, temporary relocation will be provided. All units receiving lead remediation will also receive healthy homes interventions as determined by a ranking system based on the Heathy Homes Rating System. The average cost of lead hazard control interventions will be $7,630; the average cost of healthy homes intervention will be $2,649.

See Job Announcement CW Factor 1 Attachment 3. (1)(b) Partners receiving federal funds - LHRD will subcontract for outreach, assessment and enrollment, abatement, and relocation. Competitive solicitations will be used to select qualified CBO’s, while LHRD will utilize existing master agreement for lead abatement and relocation. DPH will conduct a competitive solicitation for community outreach, education, and enrollment. DPH ensures compliance with the requirements specified in the NOFA and anticipated Notice of Award through competitive solicitations resulting in contractual agreements. DPH will establish reimbursable contracts with the selected subcontractors and will only reimburse invoices with the appropriate documentation including receipts and proof of deliverables. In addition, DPH conducts an annual contract audits and complies with all Single Audit requirements. More specifically, DPH will conduct a Request for Proposal (RFP) for LHRD to identify five community outreach, assessment, and enrollment contractors. Selected contractors that enter into formal contractual agreements with DPH for LHRD must have a DUNS number, review of 4 financials and County determination of good standing, appropriate insurance, and liability requirements, and an approved scope of work detailing deliverables and a timeline. The qualification of bidder’s will be verified to ensure they have a minimum of ten-years proven experience in community outreach, assessment and enrollment of lead safety and education. Key staff of the community contractor’s must be bilingual in English and Spanish and have prior Promotora or other equivalent experience. DPH will ensure key staff qualifications based on the review of resumes during the solicitation process. DPH will collaborate with the County’s Department of Public Works (DPW) using an internal agreement between county departments to access Certified Lead Abatement Contractors for assessment, abatement and relocation. Lead abatement contractors must meet a set of professional qualifications and minimum requirements to enter into a formal agreement with LHRD. For example, the abatement agency must have over 15-years of experience in lead abatement and the key staff must be lead certified by the State of California as a lead assessor/inspector. In addition, key staff must be bilingual in English and Spanish. The selected agency’s contract will require safe lead work practices, trainings and testing required for staff, and safe lead hazard waste disposal. (c) (1-3) Program Administration and Oversight - The PD is responsible for the grant’s overall administrative and financial oversight. The PD will work closely with the County’s DPH Finance office. DPH Finance provides technical support with budget and finance management and function as the legal Financial Officer of the department. Further, DPH Finance ensures compliance with federal funding regulations and adherence to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circular including invoicing and time reporting for all staff. The County’s office of Contracts and Grants will also ensure we follow a competitive solicitation process to procure 5 all services. The subcontractors’ contracts will include specific requirements from the federal government and/or HUD to ensure compliance with OMB circular and Single Audit. To monitor our partner’s compliance, DPH will require that they submit a monthly report of all contract deliverables under their scope of work along with their invoice. All contractor invoices will include copies of all receipts and reimbursable activities with appropriate documentation. DPH will reimburse all contractors, including DPW, within 30 days of receipt of complete documentation. DPH conducts an annual audit of all formal contracts and complies with all Single Audit requirements. The PD will maintain all staff records and utilize the County’s electronic Countywide Accounting and Purchasing System (eCAPS) to monitor staff time sheets, procurement, invoicing, receivables, and contract monitoring. DPH Finance has established a robust accounting system and process for the County to monitor federally funded initiative and grants. These systems include internal controls to ensure these funds are only utilized to pay for staff working on this specific grant. For procurement, DPH Finance utilizes the Online Requisition (OLR) systems to initiate purchase orders and ensure grant allowable costs. To enter into a contract with outside agencies, DPH will ensure a competitive solicitation that provides additional points for vendors certified by the County as Small Business Enterprise Preference eligible. The PD will work with the office of Contracts and Grants during the pre-award period to package a work order solicitation to hire temporary personnel during the first year of the LHRD grant. These temporary personnel staff must meet all of the qualifications and requirements outlined above. This temporary personnel agreement will not be executed until an official Notice of Award is received by DPH from HUD. During the second year of LHRD, the work 6 will be transferred to new positions allocated by the County to LHRD. The County will ensure staff are hired at the appropriate level by ensuring the qualifications and duties are mandatory requirements for hiring through the County’s Human Resource Department. 1 (d) Engaging External Agencies - DPH works closely with the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) on lead initiatives. For example, in 1991, DPH’s work at the local level in lead prevention education, blood lead screening, environmental investigations, and case management resulted in the State developing and enacting a standard of care for identifying and managing children with elevated blood lead levels. In addition, the County has a long history of leveraging resources with the 88 local cities residing within the confines of the county. The local relationships of cities and community partners help broaden the reach of the county with an extensive number of Countywide commissions related to housing, environmental impact, and public health initiatives. CLPPP works directly with local cities to provide lead hazard trainings and build capacity so that Building and Safety or Code Enforcement staff can adequately address lead hazards encountered during their inspections or refer these cases to CLPPP for follow-up. Since 2010, over 340 staff from 22 cities and 7 County offices (providing services for contract cities) have been trained. Lead hazard training is also routinely provided to Community Development Commission Housing Authority, Los Angeles City, and County housing inspectors. Additionally, DPH is currently working closely to support the work of the California State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) in the local response to the Exide Plant’s contamination of lead in the South-East region of the County. These strong relationships with external agencies will allow the LHRD Program to enhance outreach, education and referral activities within the target areas. 1(e) Grass roots - As mentioned above, DPH is currently working closely to support DTSC in 7 the local response to the Exide Plant’s contamination. The County’s Department of Mental Health (DMH) currently manages a grassroots effort in the Exide area promoting lead safety and education through bilingual (English/Spanish) Promotoras employed from the local community. Under LHRD the community outreach contract solicitations will target and recruit existing grass roots partners to submit a proposal for funding. DPH’s Promotora model under DMH has proven to be very effective in the Exide area. DPH has previously contracted with faith based organizations to provide early childhood education to families with children under five regarding nutrition education, physical activity, and health promotion. Promotoras and faith based organizations have a proven ability to establish trust with local community members particularly around sensitive issues such as public health equity, children’s health and housing issues. The LHRD Program will continue to partner with these grass-roots organizations to provide outreach, community education, marketing and referrals in the target communities. B-2 Relevant Organization Experience (a) List of projects - DPH provides public health services, medical care, health code enforcement and a variety of other health-related services to the County’s 10.1 million residents. The County is comprised of 88 incorporated cities and many unincorporated areas and at 4,083 square miles, it is larger than the combined areas of the U.S. states of Delaware and Rhode Island. Approximately 25% of all Californians live in Los Angeles County, whose population is larger than that of 42 of the nation’s 50 states. DPH is comprised of more than 4,000 employees and has an annual budget of $900 million providing environmental health, disease control, and community and family health services for County residents. CLPPP has an annual budget of $6.5 million and employs 40 people for the case management and environmental investigations of lead poisoned children countywide (85 of 88 cities). 8 DPH is a leader in public health advocacy and response with vast experience responding to emergency and routine public health issues. For example, in October 2015 a record amount of natural gas, primarily containing methane but also other chemicals, leaked into the atmosphere in the Aliso Canyon/Porter Ranch area. DPH conducted a comprehensive investigation of air quality and reported adverse health symptoms. Approximately 8,000 families were relocated away from the Porter Ranch area until DPH conducted clearance testing. Similarly, DPH responded to health complaints from a community surrounding Exide battery recycling plant which was emitting lead and other hazardous chemicals. As a result, DPH conducted rapid soil testing at over 500 properties identifying positive sources of lead. This lead to DPH launching a grass roots health education and blood lead screening campaign. Currently the DTSC is leading efforts to abate 2,000 of 10,000 properties with the highest test results of lead in soil. From 1991 to 2004, DPH managed several HUD funded grant projects resulting in over a thousand lead remediation projects. DPH also managed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grants during the period of 2006-2011 to support lead prevention and healthy home initiatives. These projects included lead prevention education to 435 daycare and childcare providers, 25 Building & Safety offices, 613 pregnant women, 66 Children and Family Services case workers and 114 EH inspectors. Currently, DPH provides approximately 60,000 annual inspections of multifamily rental dwellings to ensure compliance with health and safety codes, including lead and healthy homes hazards. (1) Describe how you’ve administered lead hazard control grants - DPH’s prior HUD LHRD grant funded five-county staff who reported to an in-kind PD. Local CBOs were contracted to conduct community outreach and enrollment. DPH staff conducted risk 9 assessments of each unit and hazard control services were provided by a lead abatement firm under contract with DPH. Families were recruited into the program through an outreach campaign that included media announcement, a mailing to all target area residences and outreach to parents through schools, day care centers, churches, community groups and door to door. The outreach campaign educated parents on how to identify and control lead hazards in their homes and included demonstration of lead safe cleaning techniques. All benchmarks under these agreements were exceeded and efficiencies created cost savings. Table 2 shows the performance of DPH’s previous HUD Grant. Table 2: HUD Grant Performance HUD CAL HBO175-01 (May 1, 2002-April 30, 2005) Benchmark Type Benchmark # Completed Benchmark Completed (%) Outreach Assessed Cleared Training Events 2,000 163 150 170 5,889 207 151 185 294% 127% 101% 109% Since 1991, the CLPPP Program has overseen case management and environmental investigations to approximately 6,555 lead poisoned families with children who met the state’s case definition. Bi-annual reports to CDPH demonstrate the program’s timeliness of investigations and success in mitigating residential lead hazards at case properties. CLPPP administration worked closely with DPH Finance and Contract Monitoring staff to ensure proper fiscal management and compliance with both grant and County requirements. DPH also administered continuing grants from the CDC from 2006 to 2011 for lead poisoning prevention and healthy homes activities. (2) Describe how funding under your lead hazard contract grant flowed - Under the previous LHRD grant the PD was responsible for the grants’ financial and administrative oversight. The PD worked closely with the County’s DPH Finance office that provided technical 10 support with budget and finance management for this agreement. Further, DPH Finance ensured compliance with federal funding regulations and adherence to the OMB circular including invoicing and time reporting for all staff. The County’s office of Contracts and Grants also ensured a competitive solicitation process to procure community outreach, education, enrollment, abatement and resident relocation services. DPH established reimbursable contracts with subcontractors and vendors. To monitor these contractors’ performance and compliance, DPH required that they submit a monthly report of all contract deliverables under their scope of work along with their invoice. All invoices included copies of paid receipts and reimbursable activities with appropriate documentation. DPH reimbursed all subcontractors within 30 days of receipt of complete documentation. (3) Describe staff and procedures - Certified Lead Workers performed lead hazard control work. Complete abatement of deteriorated lead-based paint (LBP) was the primary method of lead hazard control. Upon completion of lead hazard activities, the EHS III performed clearance testing. The initial step for clearance testing was a visual examination to verify that all work was completed and that all lead dust or debris were properly removed. Second, environmental sampling (dust wipe and soil) was conducted and samples were submitted to a National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) laboratory for analysis. Upon receiving the pass/fail clearance levels, the clearance examiner would notify the occupant, homeowner, and abatement contractor of the clearance results for safe resident re-entry. The clearance examiner would then direct the abatement contractor to re-clean areas that failed and re-test as required. The PD ensured DPH’s Finance and Contracts and Grants process was adhered to and implemented. The PD also ensured all goods and services were received and in compliance with the subcontract requirements. The County’s Financial Management Unit set up a Line of Credit 11 Control System (LOCCS) to enable the drawdown of funds. DPH cut checks for the subcontractors for their expenditures and for the lead abatement contractors for the actual lead hazard control work performed. (4) Describe whether, and if so, demonstrate routine monitoring of subcontracts and contractor - To monitor these contractors’ performance and compliance, DPH required that they submit a monthly report of all contract deliverables under their scope of work along with their invoice. All invoices included copies of paid receipts and reimbursable activities with appropriate documentation. Any subcontracting by the contractor required review and approval by DPH to ensure compliance with OMB guidelines and to ensure all mandatory restrictions were included in the subcontractors’ agreement prior to execution. DPH followed Civil Service guidelines to employ all staff and ensure grant staff qualifications were met. RATING FACTOR 2: NEED/EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM Although 15,930 children under the age of six had an elevated blood lead level (EBLLs) of 5 ug/dL or above within the County (2011-2015), the LHRD is targeting the portions of Los Angeles City with the highest concentrations of children with EBLLs and the communities surrounding the closed Exide lead battery recycling plant that have endured decades of contamination through unlawful air emissions. This target area encompasses the cities of Bell, Commerce, Maywood, and portions of Los Angeles, along with some unincorporated areas (East Los Angeles, Florence-Firestone, and Walnut Park). Almost half of the EBLL children (under 6years old) reside in this target area (7,291/15,930). A list of targeted census tracts and target area maps are included in Factor 2 Attachment 1. Furthermore, the LHRD will ensure prioritization to families in highest need (see Rating Factor 3). 12 A.

Other Factors Demonstrating Need • CLPPP receives all blood lead test results (176,253 in 2012) from CDPH Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB) and LHRD will use this information to identify and prioritize potential applicants. • In the Exide area, DTSC has currently identified 224 properties with soil lead levels exceeding 400 ppm, and estimates the possibility of 1,000 properties exceeding 1,000 ppm. LHRD will use this and future data to further prioritize areas for outreach and enrollment. • Access to Health Care: The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, 2014 California Health Interview Survey shows about 463,000 children aged 0-5 in Los Angeles County are enrolled in Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program. This comprises 59.6% of all children aged 0-5; while an estimated 43,000 were not currently insured. This data is available only at the County level. County-wide Healthy Kids enrollment for June 2010, indicates that 28,750 children are enrolled in this locally operated insurance program providing comprehensive health coverage for children ages 0-18, who are not eligible for the state Medi-Cal and Healthy Families programs. Healthy Families Program Subscribers (children ages 0-18) enrolled is 69,628 for those who are not eligible for Medi-Cal. This information is from www.HealthyCity.org. Additionally, a LA County Department of Public Health 2007 Health Survey indicated that approximately 44,000 children aged 0-5 are unable to afford a child's physical exam. • Data in the Consolidated Plan and Lead-Based Paint Element demonstrate that more than 81% of all cases were for persons of Latino background. The selected target area includes largely Latino populated cities (Bell, Commerce, Maywood, Los Angeles) and unincorporated East Los Angeles community. See ConPlan Lead Factor 2 Attachment 2. 14 • Los Angeles Promise Zone (LAPZ): The LHRD, in partnership with Impact Assessment Inc. (IAI), CLPPP and CDC, is focusing special outreach in the LAPZ planning to reach communities that have not had outreach or materials in their language. The LAPZ is high density, having 33,585 persons per square mile. Of the total population of 165,362 approximately 13% are unemployed and 37% of those over 25 years old do not have a high school diploma. Approximately one of every three households earns less than $20,000 per year. Approximately 20% of the population does not speak English and 61% of the residents were born outside the United States.

Start Up Prior to Award Notification- DPH has prepared a 36-month implementation plan with specific administrative and programmatic targets in preparation of the HUD LHRD grant application. Given our agencies experience receiving grants on behalf of DPH, we intend to request forthcoming permission from our Board of Supervisors to accept and enter into a formal agreement with HUD in the event we are selected for an award. During this pre-award period, DPH is preparing the competitive solicitation contracting package for Community Outreach, Assessment, and Enrollment. In addition, the temporary personnel solicitation process will be completed to immediately begin work while waiting to transition the work to the permanent county positions. Notification, First 60 Days- PD will revise the 36-month implementation plan depending on award amount and adjust its implementation plan depending on any changes or recommendations from HUD. LHRD will develop program policies and procedures to meet Notice of Award requirements. LHRD will comply with 24 CFR part 58 Environmental Review Procedures. In our environmental review, LHRD will assesses the potential environmental impacts of a project to determine whether it meets federal, state, and local environmental standards. Each LHRD assisted project will be examined to ensure that it protects health and safety, and avoids or mitigates any impacts that may harm the community. Every project will be in compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and other related Federal and state environmental laws. Environmental information on each project will be made available to the 16 public before project actions are taken. PD will execute temporary personnel agreement using delegated authority and conduct interviews and fill the PM position during the first 60 days. PD and PM will conduct ongoing interviews until all positions are filled, during this period DPH inkind staff from CLPPP will provide support. The PD, PM, and in-kind CLPPP staff will develop outreach, marketing, and recruitment protocols/plans for families and units. Health education materials will be finalized to ensure they are culturally appropriate and translated into English and Spanish. PD and PM will work with in-kind CLPPP to develop plans for education and training. PD and PM will finalize the LHRD plan for prioritization and intake and enrollment. Upon executing an agreement with HUD, DPH will send public announcement to local cities and community partners in the County announcing the LHRD grant award. The announcement of the award to local partners will provide details for agencies to participate in a Local Partners meeting, and provide information to recruit residents with questions regarding lead safety. In addition, local cities and community partners will be invited to a Kick-Off meeting and training to discuss DPH’s implementation plan and solicit additional feedback. All in-kind County staff will be required to attend this initial meeting. By the end of this first meeting, participants will understand the goal of LHRD and DPH’s prioritization of eligible residents: low-income families of children with elevated blood lead levels, then families with children under the age of six, and then families with young children who visit often. Partners will be required to attend subsequent monthly collaborative meetings to discuss progress and recommendations. During the first 60 days, the in-kind DMH Promotoras will begin training on HUD LHRD specific criteria for outreach and enrollment. The PD and PM will work closely with DPH Finance, Procurement Management, and the Office of Contracts and Grants to prepare a spending plan for the grant that includes listing the 17 County’s eligible vendors and contractors for all LHRD purchases and agreements. DPH will establish an internal agreement with the County’s Department of Public Works (DPW) to invite prequalified Lead Abatement Contractors to an orientation of the upcoming services needed under LHRD. This orientation with Lead Abatement and Relocation Contractors will outline DPH’s approach to services and any other federal mandates that must be followed while implementing HUD Lead Abatement guidelines. Work safety requirements and proper lead waste management will be included into the formal agreements with selected contractors. 2. Build and Establish Partnerships- DPH has established a robust network of partners over the years. LHRD has detailed letters of commitment with local partners including CBOs and cities in the target area for voluntary outreach and referrals. DPH has formal contracts with 85 of 88 cities in the County, including targeted cities (i.e., Los Angeles, Commerce, Bell, and Maywood). A list of written agreements along with the letters of commitment are provided in the Factor 3 Attachment 1. Contracts/MOUs: The LHRD will perform a competitive bid process for various services, including outreach, education, enrollment, LI/RA, abatement, relocation services. Successful bids will be awarded a contract for one year with an additional two years of renewal available in one year increments. The other partners for this grant have submitted letters of commitment which serve as the agreements between LHRD and those agencies. Monitoring Contracts/MOUs: The PM will manage the contracts and monitor performance. If contractual activities are not met, the PM will meet with the organization and develop a corrective action plan. Invoices will not be paid until services are rendered and complete. The contractor activities are tracked monthly and reported quarterly. In addition, the 18 PM is responsible for monitoring and tracking other local partner activities. If there are issues related to their letter of commitment, the PM will contact the agency to determine a solution. LHRD will coordinate with local Housing Authorities and the County’s Department of Public Social Services to encourage, receive and process referrals from tenant-based vouchers programs (such as Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers) for enrollment in this program. LHRD will provide trainings, outreach and enrollment materials. Since DPH receives all blood lead level results through CLPPP, LHRD is able to directly identify at risk children and families eligible for enrollment. In addition, LHRD will provide outreach, education, and enrollment materials to local health and childcare providers. LHRD is partnering with Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) to reach students including preschools age children in the target areas. LHRD will partner with IAI, which receives a CDC grant serving the Los Angeles Promise Zone, to provide free blood lead testing to all children under six-years of age, assist with outreach, and provide referrals. 3. Outreach and Marketing- LHRD will coordinate with both public and nonprofit agencies to obtain referrals of eligible buildings with lead hazards. In addition, the CBOs will contract with the LHRD to conduct door-to-door outreach to 2,700 households. This outreach method ensures that lead hazard control efforts target housing where children are at greatest risk and furthers environmental justice, fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people. Additional outreach activities are presented in Table 7. The measures to sustain recruitment are benchmarks provided to each CBO with target dates of completion. The CBOs will be paid and evaluated based on deliverables. The staff responsible for monitoring the recruitment activities and implementing the measures identified to sustain recruitment is the PM with assistance from the PD. 19 LHRD will provide outreach materials that are properly translated and at a grade level that is easy to understand. LHRD will develop outreach materials for languages in, English, Spanish, and additional languages as necessary based on targeted areas. LHRD brochures will be available at county Public Health offices and clinics, and in other public locations within the targeted areas. The LHRD will also have a telephone hotline available to the public. Outreach workers will be bilingual in English and Spanish and all materials prepared for handout including enrollment forms will be written in English and Spanish. Other LHRD staff members will be bilingual in English and Spanish. LHRD will provide staff members bilingual in other languages as necessary. The CBOs are culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate to conduct outreach with the low-income communities they serve. In addition, the LHRD staff and CBOs have been trained on how to effectively communicate with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) individuals as well as persons with disabilities and other access and functional needs. Outreach workers and the CW will be responsible for tenant applications and the PM is responsible for monitoring outreach and referrals and processing applications from homeowners and landlords. The PM will track recruitment and enrollment to ensure that the grant program will meet its quarterly benchmarks. Outreach workers are responsible both for unit enrollment and for educating tenants on lead hazards, lead-safe work practices, and lead poisoning prevention. DPH via a competitive selection process will work with experienced CBOs that conduct targeted outreach to buildings where young children are at high risk of lead poisoning. The CBOs will be responsible for the following outreach activities: 20 Table 7: Outreach Activities Outreach Activities Total Door-to-door outreach & education Neighborhood Meetings/ Presentations Community Health Fairs Referrals Applications 2,700 units 20 presentations 10 fairs 125 units 100 units The CBOs are able to offer communication in Spanish and other languages as necessary. The program will utilize a vendor to assist communication with persons with visual, hearing or other communication impairments in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. During outreach efforts, the CBOs will identify any additional materials needed to reach persons with languages other than English or Spanish. All these activities are related to unit enrollment, program sustainability and short and long term reduction of childhood lead poisoning. 4. Prioritization and Eligibility of Units - The LHRD estimates that of 151 units to be made lead-safe, 69 will be owner-occupied, and 82 will be renter-occupied, as shown in Table 8. These numbers are based on the percentage of owner/renter occupied and single/multi-family units according to U.S. Census data. Table 8: Number of units by type and Occupancy Type of Dwelling Tenure Single-Family Multi-family Total Rental 11 71 82 Owner-Occupied 69 0 69 Vacant 0 0 0 Total 80 71 151 LHRD will not seek vacant units, but if there are any, the multi-family property owner will be required to agree to market all remediated units to low-income families with children under age six. The target area includes over 7,000 EBLL children under age six and over 127,000 pre-1940 rental units as shown in Rating Factor 2. Buildings occupied by an EBLL 21 child under age six will receive the highest priority, followed by pre-1940 buildings, for enrollment, assessment and remediation. Further Fair Housing and Increase Access to Lead-Safe Units: CBO neighborhood meetings and presentations will include workshops and presentations on fair housing and tenants’ rights. LHRD will work with the cities to investigate complaints of housing discrimination. Owners of multifamily rental housing will be required to provide in writing that during the three years following completion of remediation work, they will market to and give priority in renting their remediated rental units to low-income families with children under age six. LHRD will require owners of rental property to register the address on the County registry. Target Eligible Units: LHRD will distribute brochures as part of multilingual fair housing outreach to landlords and tenants throughout the targeted areas. Through extensive outreach, the LHRD will ensure that limited English speakers living in this target area will receive information about lead poisoning prevention, lead-safe work practices, and the LHRD program. They will also receive assistance in enrolling in the program if the building owner indicates an interest in participating. 5. Intake and Enrollment - CBOs and DMH promotoras will go door-to-door in designated high-risk neighborhoods to inform tenants and owners about lead based paint hazards, lead-safe work practices, and the availability of lead-paint hazard remediation grants. Goals for the number of home visits, referrals, and unit enrollments each CBO must complete are provided in Table 7 (page 21). Following income verification, the LI/RA will be scheduled. Properties that test positive for lead paint hazards will be assigned a priority in the LHRD pipeline. Units occupied by children with EBLLs will have the highest priority and will be processed first. The unit pipeline 22 will be sustained by referrals from partners and from the on-going community outreach by the CBOs. 6. Compliance with HIPAA- Per State law, all blood lead test results are required to be reported to the CLPPB and access is granted to local CLPPP’s. The PD, as Co-Director for LA County CLPPP, will ensure that the LHRD program maintains strict compliance with HIPAA and CLPPB’s strict confidentiality requirements. Electronic files will be encrypted and password-protected, hard copies will be stored in the program’s secure Medical Records Room, and visitor access to the workstations will be restricted. LHRD staff will be required to complete HIPAA web-based courses. Contracted organizations will also be required to comply with all applicable privacy provisions. Families will have the option of signing confidentiality waivers so that CBO’s can record and report the blood lead level as part of enrollment. 7. Blood Lead Testing Prior to Lead Hazard Control Work- In rental buildings where owners are applying to the program, the CBO outreach workers will educate and advise the parents or legal guardian to take children under the age of 6 for a blood lead test and where to obtain the test as necessary. DPH will provide blood lead testing and has created a small line item for this purpose in the proposed grant budget. The blood lead test costs between $60-100, with a typical charge by the medical office of $20 for a copy of the test results. In the LAPZ, AltaMed’s clinic will also provide testing with test kits reimbursed by the CDC grant. Free blood testing will be provided in the Exide area. CLPPP staff are currently notified directly by the CLPPB of all EBLLs within the County. For all EBLLs within the LHRD target zones, CLPPP will make direct referrals to the LHRD staff. Any lead poisoning cases investigated by CLPPP will also be referred to the LHRD 23 and relevant lead hazard evaluation data will be shared. The two programs will work jointly until lead hazards are remediated and the property is cleared. 8. Economic Opportunity- New Jobs: LHRD anticipates supporting employment in four different areas including, enrollment/outreach, LI/RA, relocation and remediation work through the expenditures of this grant. Contracts: As part of their contract with DPH, contractors must demonstrate that they have provided economic opportunities to Section 3 residents and Section 3 businesses. LHRD will require construction contractors to spend at least 10% of their total allocation on meeting Section 3 of HUD. These contractors will be required to provide the following information with each invoice: a) number of Section 3 employees hired; b) number of Section 3 employees who were trained; c) number of Section 3 businesses hired; and d) the total dollar amount awarded to Section 3 businesses. Training Opportunities: The program will provide accredited lead-worker training to Section 3-eligible workers and lead contractors. Trained Persons Linkage to Covered Contractors: The LHRD will hire certified lead abatement general contractors. LHRD will also fund lead worker training for Section 3 employees hired by approved lead contractors. Section 3 businesses: DPH will contract from a list of certified lead abatement contractors and allocate bonus points to those registered under the County’s Local Small Business Enterprise program. B. Technical Approach/Lead Hazard Control Interventions 1. Overview of Lead Hazard Control Activities Production Process: Table 9 provides a summary overview of the production process for this grant, including task description, the responsible person/agency, and timeframe. To complete a typical unit from referral and intake to hazard control, clearance and follow-up testing may take approximately 4 months. 24 Table 9 - Production Process (From start to finish - approximately 6 months) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.

Problems with any part of the workflow will be addressed and resolved at regular staff meetings. In addition the PM will compile with the assistance of the EHS III weekly reports which allows for supervision and monitoring of assigned work to staff; distribution of the work load; and ensure assignments are completed timely. Proposed number of units: As described in Table 8, on page 21, and Table 10 below, the program will enroll and assess 161 units to remediate lead hazards and healthy home 25 interventions in 151 units. Of the completed units, we anticipate that 80 will be single-family units and 71 will be multi­family units.

For example, contractors that can leverage partnerships into their bids and by this way lower the unit cost will have a higher chance of selection. As a result the LHRD is able to control and reduce the cost. Priority will be given for enrollment and assessment to units occupied by households with children under the age of 6 who have EBLLs. The next priority is units occupied by households with children under the age of 6 without EBLLs. Vacant units, if there are any, have the lowest priority. To ensure vacant units are available to low income families with children under the age of 6, LHRD will require the owner to register all cleared units on a Lead Safe Housing Registry on the County website. 2. Lead Based Paint and Healthy Homes Inspection/Risk Assessments- Each LI/RA will include X-Ray fluorescence (XRF) to identify lead-based paint, a visual assessment, and dust wipe and soil sampling to identify lead hazards and will be carried out by certified firms, who have been approved as vendors, in accordance with HUD's 2012 Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead Based Paint Hazards. LHRD will use the County’s more restrictive 26 definition for “dangerous level of lead-bearing substances” requiring remediation of XRF readings in excess of 0.7 milligrams per centimeter (Los Angeles County Code, Section 11.28.010 https://www.municode.com/library/ca/los_angeles_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TI T11HESA_DIV1HECO_CH11.28LEHA). The LI/RA report, used as the basis to create specifications for interim controls/abatement, will be required to be completed and submitted within 14 days. The average cost to conduct a LI/RA is $450/unit. Clearance testing will be conducted by the EHS III. Each LI/RA report will include the State of California Form CDPH 8552 showing the result of the LI/RA. This report will be provided to the owner along with the pre-acceptance letter with instructions for properly disclosing the presence of lead hazards to renters to comply with the Lead Disclosure Rule and the Lead Safe Housing Rule. Work plans for hazard remediation will be based on the LI/RA, in accordance with HUD's 2012 Guidelines, and taking the following into consideration: (a) the condition of the hazardous building components; (b) whether there is a child with an EBLL residing on the property; (c) CLPPP recommendations for units occupied by an EBLL child; (d) Healthy Homes Rating System (HHRS) priorities; (e) historic status and issues; (f) any general rehabilitation work planned for the unit (funded by other sources). The PM will review the work write-up and approve release for bid, providing integrity to the process. Healthy Homes Inspections: The contracted vendor will conduct a HHRS inspection at the same time as the LI/RA to identify housing-related health and safety hazards. All internal and external parts of the dwelling will be inspected for the 29 hazards. Once inspection is completed, the EHS III will determine: a) whether there are any hazards; b) the likelihood of an occurrence, 27 and c) the range of possible outcomes for those hazards. Results of the inspection will be input into the HHRS software. The healthy home interventions with the highest priority are those affecting children aged 0-6; then those aged 7-14; then those hazards rated by the HHRS as a band A-D; and then hazards for persons aged 60 and older. The contracted vendor will document identified health and safety hazards and develop a scope of work. The average cost is estimated to be $2,649 for healthy homes interventions. 3. Bid/Procurement/Selection of Contractors- Certified Lead Abatement Contractors from prequalified list will bid for the full scope of lead hazard control and healthy homes intervention work. They will need to meet a set of professional qualifications and minimum requirements to enter into a formal agreement with LHRD. For example, the abatement agency must have over 15-years of experience in lead abatement and the key staff must be lead certified by the State of California as lead assessor/inspector. In addition, key staff must be bilingual in English and Spanish. The selected agency’s contract will require safe lead work practices, trainings and testing for staff, and safe lead hazard waste disposal. Following a closed bid process, the lowest responsible bidder is chosen to perform both the lead and healthy homes interventions. The PM will be responsible for reviewing the full scope of work for feasibility and accuracy prior to the bid walk, ensuring the integrity of this process. 4. Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Interventions– The following Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Home Interventions (HHI) will include, but not limited to: Dust removal and control; Paint Film Stabilization; Enclosure of lead-based paint components; Encapsulation of lead-based paint surfaces; Friction and Impact Surface treatment--Door jambs, window stops; Complete removal of lead-based paint; Replacement of windows; or Mitigation of bare soil. The average cost for units to receive lead hazard control work is $7,630. 28 All pre-qualified contractors must submit current copies of appropriate lead certification of both supervisors and workers. LHRD will provide training to Section 3-eligible workers as certified lead workers and supervisors as necessary. The program will provide and will continue to provide EPA-compliant RRP refresher courses for both LHRD and contractor staff. The EHS III and EHT will monitor the contractor’s work during construction to ensure compliance with work specifications and applicable federal/state/local regulations. To the extent feasible, LHRD will promote integration of the lead grant program with other housing interventions. Units that are scheduled for a) lead hazard remediation b) healthy homes measures c) construction rehabilitation and d) weatherization will be processed in a manner that gives priority to lead remediation work. The Healthy Homes intervention work will be done prior to or concurrent with the lead hazards remediation to ensure that the underlying issues do not affect the lead hazard control work. Contractors will be required to utilize lead safe work practices for all remediation. Consistent with HUD policies, LHRD grant funds and Healthy Homes Supplemental funds will only pay for work that is allowable under this NOFA. The average HHI cost estimate is $2,649. The HHRS will help prioritize the hazards to be remediated under the HHI. The LI/RA will be trained and receive refreshers on performing the healthy home interventions. All the home improvements resulting from lead hazard control and HHI will comply with building and local codes. 5. Temporary Relocation- When making the determination about whether temporary relocation is necessary, the PM and EHS III will evaluate the work plans and degree/extent of possible hazards. Owners of owner-occupied housing will be required to relocate at their own expense. In multifamily buildings where there is a vacant unit, the vacant unit will be made lead-safe first 29 and then the work sequenced so that each tenant household can be temporarily relocated to the vacant unit while remediation work is completed. In cases where relocation is deemed necessary, one of the program's relocation contractors will carry out the relocation in coordination with the PM. Relocation will not exceed 10-days and will include transportation to and from the temporary housing, vouchers for local restaurants, and secure storage bins, as needed, for storage of valuable household goods. For rental units, a notice of non-displacement in conformance with applicable local ordinances, state and federal law will be included in both the owner and tenant application. LHRD will ensure relocation facilities meet the standards of the American with Disability Act. 6. Occupant Protection Measures- LHRD’s workplan includes an Occupant Protection Plan. The EHS III will monitor the daily activities, containment and safety measures, and to ensure compliance with lead safe work practices, protecting not only residents for lead hazards, but also the workers. If relocation is not necessary, stringent measures will be taken to protect occupants during remediation. When remediation work can be completed within one (1) day, occupants will have accessibility to at least one bathroom and the kitchen, while containment techniques will be used to seal off areas where work is occurring. 7. Clearance and Re-Assessment Examinations - The EHS III will conduct the clearance, focusing on where the remediation work was performed. If applicable, the EHS III will also ensure that healthy homes interventions were adequately performed to mitigate the hazards and reduce risk. Clearance samples will be submitted the same day to a laboratory recognized by the NLLAP. The REHS completion of clearance exams and HHI interventions takes between 1-3 30 days. If the unit does not pass clearance, the contractor will have to completely re-clean the unit, within 1 day and at no additional cost, before a repeat clearance is performed. 8. Post-Lead Hazard Control Maintenance of Units- Both property owner and occupant of each remediated unit will receive a written post hazard control maintenance plan with clear instructions for required monitoring. Periodically, the CW will provide training sessions on post hazard control maintenance for groups of homeowners and occupants. Multifamily rental properties will be subject to ongoing annual inspections by DPH to monitor for lead hazards and most housing related health and safety hazards. Additionally, CLPPP case managers will continue to follow EBLL children in remediated units until the child's blood lead level falls below the level of concern. C. Lead Hazard Control Program Sustainability 1. Build and Sustain Program Sustainability- DPH partners, CBOs, and CLPPP, will continue to work together to encourage testing of children 6 years of age and younger and provide education/outreach about lead hazards to targeted communities. We anticipate developing new partnerships during this grant period. During this grant period, DPH will explore a variety of potential funding sources that could support the HUD-grant funded activities, including philanthropic opportunities from foundations and other funders that focus on children and health. Another potential source of funds could derive from a paint settlement filed in June 2000, California v. Atlantic Richfield Co., 1-00-CV788657, California Superior Court, County of Santa Clara (San Jose) that would provide the County with $630 million towards interior lead paint hazard remediation. The LHRD will work with CLPPP to encourage local cities to adopt lead and healthy home housing policies that ensure: lead safe work practices during renovations; enforcement of health 31 and safety codes at housing units by city programs; and referrals to DPH for assistance for cities contracting with the County for services. If funding allows, the LHRD will provide trainings to increase the supply of certified lead assessors, contractors, and healthy home professionals. 2. Lead-Safe Housing Registry - Availability of Lead-Safe Housing to Low-Income Families - Owners of rental housing will be required to agree in writing that during the three years following completion of remediation work, they will market to and give priority in renting their remediated rental units to low-income families with children under age six. In order to ensure vacant units are available to low income families with children under the age of 6, LHRD will maintain a lead-safe housing registry, updated quarterly, on the County website. This registry will be shared with local jurisdictions in the target area. RATING FACTOR 4: BUDGET PROPOSAL (a) Budget Estimate of Costs. DPH is requesting a total of $3,400,000 in HUD funds $3,000,000 in LHRD grant funds and $400,000 in Healthy Homes Supplemental grant funds. DPH will provide a documented in-kind match of $1,468,862. See Form HUD-424CBW Detailed Budget Worksheet. See Factor 4 Attachment 1 for the LHRD funds and a separate one for the Healthy Homes Supplemental Grant funds. (b) Detailed Budget Narratives are provided for both the LHRD grant funds and the Healthy Homes Supplemental Grant funds. Please see Factor 4 Attachment 2 (c) Financing Strategy Program Administration and Financial Management - Project oversight and financial management: The PD will oversee the LHRD program, meeting weekly with the PM and review of grant packages, reports, draw requests, and budgets. The PM will be responsible for financial management, approving project reimbursements, ensuring that the proper grant is 32 being billed, and reconciling all accounts with the HUD budget. The PM will maintain a financial management spreadsheet for program expenditures. The PM will review and approve the scope of work for each project, review cost estimates for proposed lead hazard remediation, and evaluations of relocation needs. The PM will be responsible for day-to-day program management, supervision of the three-person staff (EHS III, CW, and EHT), oversee program operations, contract administration, and compliance with HUD requirements. The PM and EHS III will manage the sub-contracts that will perform outreach and enrollment, risk assessment, abatement work, relocation, and healthy homes interventions. DPH will verify qualifications of the tenant and homeowner for income eligibility for LHRD participation. DPH will not provide any additional loan or monetary assistance to residents and will not have any private sector financing or matching available for this project. LHRD will not have a recapture mechanism. Owners of multifamily rental properties will be required to agree in writing not to sell the property for three years and must also agree that during a three-year period they will affirmatively market and prioritize the remediated units to families with young children and will comply with applicable Rent Stabilization Ordinance in any rent adjustments. As mentioned above, owners will be required to list any vacant units at the County’s website for affordable home seekers. DPH will partner with a fair housing contractor to assist with any questions or concerns about discrimination, accessibility, or the need for reasonable accommodations. For three years, LHRD will send an annual notification to each rental property owner of his or her obligations. 33 Rating Factor 5: Achieving Results and Program Evaluation Benchmarks and Performance Standards: The LHRD program goal is to collaborate with a partner network to assess and minimize lead-based paint hazards that contribute to childhood lead poisoning by providing screening to 161 units and remediation to 151 units in targeted areas. LHRD is committed to conducting cost-effective program activities that will efficiently achieve the goal of reducing health-related hazards in housing for priority residents. The quarterly timeline for completing these outputs/outcomes is delineated in Table 10 in Rating Factor 3. LHRD will begin to enroll and assess units in quarter 1, complete enrollment in quarter 10 and assessments in quarter 11. Lead hazard control and healthy home intervention activities will begin in quarter 2 and be completed by the end of quarter 12. Door-to-door outreach will begin in quarter 3 with County in-kind staff and with contracted CBOs from quarters 5 to 8; trainings will be offered in quarters 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10. LHRD will follow HUD’s lead hazard control policies, guidelines and procedures. (a) Monitoring Performance- The PM will be responsible for supervising progress through routine monitoring of contract agreements, intake and enrollment, documentation verification, site visits, quarterly meetings, and monthly/quarterly reporting. The PM will input all of this data into a performance matrix that tracks real-time activities and outcomes. This performance matrix will allow the PM to identify barriers and opportunities to make adjustments. Existing and newly formed partnerships will leverage resources to improve LHRD performance should benchmarks not be met within the timeframes. LHRD will: (a) maximize resources by integrating lead remediation in conjunction with housing improvement activities. (b) collaborate with local cities and agencies to encourage lead hazard control to be more fully integrated into community policies and procedures. 34 (b) Measuring Program Success (1) Program Oversight to Meet Program Goal –LHRD will address quality and performance issues through site visits and email/telephone communications with partners and CBOs. Contractors will not be paid for work that is not completed to LHRD standard including timeline, quality, and safety measures. LHRD will conduct quarterly performance monitoring of all contractors and immediate Corrective Action Plans will be required for any deficiencies. The PM will monitor LOCCS drawdowns, program expenditures, and other financial program data. (2) Assessing progress and tracking performance – Outcomes of program objectives described in Rating Factor 3 will be measured against benchmarks for program progress, to identify barriers, and find efficiencies. LHRD will utilize a performance matrix to evaluate LHRD’s deliverables, contractor’s progress, work plan, staff timesheets, expenditures, and audit reports.

LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS Older homes, particularly those built prior to 1940, have a higher potential for structural problems related to inadequate foundations and floor supports, poor plumbing, outdated electrical wiring, and substandard roofing, as well as a greater likelihood of lead-based paint hazards. Environmental issues play an important role in the quality of housing, and exposure to lead-based paint is one of the most significant environmental threats posed to homeowners and renters. Medical understanding of the harmful effects of lead poisoning in children and adults in both the short- and long-term is increasing. Evidence shows that lead dust is a more serious hazard than ingestion of paint chips. Dust from surfaces with intact lead-based paint is pervasive and poisonous when inhaled or ingested. Making the situation more difficult is the fact that lead dust is so fine it cannot be collected by conventional vacuum cleaners. Lead-based paint was banned from residential use in 1978 because of the health risk it posed, particularly to children. Homes built prior to 1980 have some chance of containing lead-based paint on interior or exterior surfaces, and the chances increase with the age of the home. HUD has established estimates for determining the likelihood of housing units containing lead-based paint. These estimates are as follows: • • • 90 percent of units built before 1940, 80 percent of units built from 1940 through 1959, and 62 percent of units built from 1960 through 1979. Other factors used to determine the risk of lead-based paint problems include the condition of the housing unit, tenure, and household income. Households with young children are also at greater risk because young children have more hand-to-mouth activity and absorb lead more readily than do adults. The two (2) factors most correlated with higher risks of lead-based paint hazards are residing in rental or lower-income households. Low-income residents are less likely to be able to afford proper maintenance of their homes, leading to issues such as chipped and peeling paint, and renters are not as likely or are not allowed to renovate their rental units. HOUSEHOLDS AT RISK As presented previously, a large portion of the Urban County’s housing stock was built in the mid20th century. While it is not possible to determine the presence of lead-based paint in every home in Los Angeles County, data on the age of the home help measure the likelihood of contamination. As explained in the previous pages, homes built before 1978, when lead-based paint use was banned, are at risk. Table IV.41, on the following page, quantifies occupied housing units in the Los Angeles Urban County by year built and estimates the number and shares of units at risk of lead-based paint hazards, using HUD’s calculation guidelines. According to the 2006–2010 ACS estimates, 465,630 units in the County were at risk of lead-based paint contamination; these represented 56.4 percent of Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 1 the total 825,338 units of all ages and risk levels. As shown, the largest shares of homes at risk of contamination were those built between 1950 to 1959, 1960 to 1969, and 1970 to 1979. Table IV.41 Housing Units with Lead-Based Paint Risks by Year Built 1939 or Earlier 1940–1949 1950–1959 1960–1969 1970–1979 Los Angeles County 2010 Five-Year ACS Estimates Urban % of Total Total County (Urban County) 77,376 16.6% 465,135 67,223 14.4% 316,828 150,590 32.3% 577,978 85,884 18.4% 321,470 84,557 18.2% 307,753 Total 465,630 Year Built 100.0% Remainder of County 387,760 249,605 427,388 235,586 223,196 1,989,165 1,523,535 However, the risk of lead-based paint contamination due to the presence of lead-based paint is higher for low-income persons, who may not have access to health care, home maintenance, or educational materials about lead-based paint hazards. Detailed data about the numbers of households by income category are based on the 2005 to 2009 ACS data that informed HUD’s Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) tabulations, as presented in Table IV.42, below. As shown, 435,719 households in the Urban County lived in homes likely built with lead-based paint, and more than half of these earned more than 80 percent of HAMFI.

In addition, lead-based paint can be particularly harmful for young children, who are more sensitive and more likely to be exposed. Table IV.43, on the following page, presents more detailed CHAS data regarding the owner households at risk of lead-based paint hazards, broken down by tenure, income, and by presence of children aged 6 and younger. As shown, the majority of Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 2 these owner households earned more than 80 percent of HAMFI, and less than a quarter each of these and all owner households (41,049 or 15.9 percent) had children aged 6 or younger.

In total, 39,675 of the 176,958 renter households of showed a risk of lead-based paint exposure for young children, or about 22.4 percent. As this and the previously presented table indicate, lead-based paint risks were more common among owneroccupied homes than renter-occupied ones, although close to the same number of households had children aged 6 and under. In combination with owner households, 80,724 households showed the capacity to pose lead-based paint health risks for young children.

Between 2006 and 2010 in Los Angeles County as a whole, 354 cases of lead poisoning among persons younger than 21 were reported by the CLPPP. As shown in Diagram IV.10, on the following page, the number of cases occurring per year was highest in 2006, at 139, and declined until 2009 when it reached a low of 87, suggesting a decline in lead exposure. However, 2010 saw an increase in cases, to 102.

Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program The Los Angeles County CLPPP was established in 1991, as a result of the California legislature mandating the California Department of Health Services (CDHS) to develop and enact a standard of care for identifying and managing children with elevated blood lead levels. The objectives of the CLPPP are to: • • • • • • • • Image IV.1 Service Planning Areas (Source: Los Angeles County DPH, 2013) “Minimize the number of children exposed to lead; Inform the public to enable them to protect children from lead exposure; Develop full capacity to track lead exposure countywide; Monitor the management of lead-burdened children; Develop a strong infrastructure for preventing children’s exposure to lead through partnerships with other government agencies, community-based organizations, and the private sector; Identify sources of lead and assist with effective and safe elimination; Maintain full compliance with federal and state statutory and regulatory requirements; and Continue leadership through policy development and standard-setting.” 24 The CLPPP, funded by the CDHS, is operated within the Los Angeles County DPH, in the Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health and Environmental Health departments. The two (2) teams collaborate on nursing and environmental case management and follow-up for lead-burdened children; promoting screening; and on prevention, targeted outreach and education, and surveillance activities. 25 The primary tasks of the CLPPP are distributed as such: • Public health nurses in the Case Management Unit follow up with lead poisoned children through a comprehensive assessment of each home and family, noting child safety risks (car seats, safe cribs, and more), pest management issues, asthma hazards, and other concerns. Nurses also educate families on the effects of lead poisoning, how to prevent it, and any needed health and social services. 24 CLADPH CLPPP, About Us, http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/phcommon/public/aboutus/aboutdisplay.cfm?ou=ph&prog=fhp&unit=lead 25 CLADPH CLPPP, http:// publichealth.lacounty.gov/lead/ Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 6 • • • The Environmental Health Unit does environmental and visual inspection, and responds to lead-related and safe work practices complaints. Specialists investigate, evaluate, and analyze lead hazards, including source identification. They may issue corrective notices to eliminate lead hazards as well as monitor home repair, corrective notices, or compliance. SB460 allows the CLPPP to respond to complaints whether or not lead poisoning is present. 26 A complete Healthy Homes Inspection is not always necessary to identify hazards other than lead, and inspectors refer cases with other hazards to appropriate agencies. The Epidemiology Unit analyses the data from the inspectors and nurses. This unit also maintains a lead poisoning database, which includes demographic, geographic, laboratory and clinical information on all reported screenings and cases. Epidemiology staff plan, direct, and evaluate original epidemiological studies; analyze lead poisoning data; and provide data to interested parties. The Health Education Unit reaches out to schools, participants in the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program, Head Start students, and other community members to spread knowledge about lead poisoning and hazards. This unit maintains a library of information on lead and lead poisoning prevention, available in several languages; provides presentations, information booths, and trainings; and offers a toll-free hotline, 1-800-LA-4-LEAD, to answer questions and give referrals for lead-related issues. Previous Efforts In 2003, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S. CDC) asked recipients of its Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Grants to work with other public and community-based agencies to end lead poisoning of blood levels of 10 µg/dL or higher by 2010, as part of its Healthy People 2010 report. Two (2) U.S. CDC grant recipients in California participated in the U.S. CDC funding goal: the State Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch and the Los Angeles County CLPPP. To meet this goal of eliminating childhood lead poisoning by 2010, the CLPPP of DPH created clear objectives in its plan Lead Safe L.A. 2010.27 The plan also identified high-risk areas for the County. In compliance with targeted screening guidelines established by the U.S. CDC and the California DHS, the CLPPP used the 2000 Census, 2003 vital records, and surveillance data to identify areas where children were at high risk for lead poisoning. Three (3) risk factors were used: presence of children aged 1 and 2, housing built before 1950, and live childbirths paid for by Medi-Cal. U.S. CDC funding for lead poisoning prevention ended after the closure of the plan period in 2011. 26 California Senate Bill 460, passed in 2002, makes lead hazards, such as deteriorated lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust and soil, a violation of health and safety codes and requires the use of lead-safe work practices in all repair work carried out in pre-1979 dwelling units. SB460 gives all jurisdictions in California enforcement authority. 27 Lead Safe L. A. 2010: Strategic Plan to End Childhood Lead Poisoning in Los Angeles County, Introduction, http://www.lapublichealth.org/lead/projects/CDCelimination_intro.pdf Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 7 National Efforts to Reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazards In 1991, Congress formed HUD’s Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control to eradicate lead-based paint hazards in privately owned and low-income housing in the U.S. One way it has done this is by providing grants for communities to address their own lead paint hazards. Other responsibilities of this office are the enforcement of HUD’s lead-based paint regulations, public outreach and technical assistance, and technical studies to help protect children and their families from health and safety hazards in the home. 28 In 1992, to address the problem more directly, Congress passed the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, also known as Title X, which developed a comprehensive federal strategy for reducing lead exposure from paint, dust, and soil, and provided authority for several rules and regulations, including the following: Lead Safe Housing Rule – Mandates that federally assisted or owned housing facilities notify residents about, evaluate, and reduce lead-based paint hazards. Lead Disclosure Rule – Requires homeowners to disclose all known lead-based paint hazards when selling or leasing a residential property built before 1978. Violations of the Lead Disclosure Rule may result in civil money penalties of up to $11,000 per violation. 29 Pre-Renovation Education Rule – Ensures that owners and occupants of most pre-1978 housing are given information about potential hazards of lead-based paint exposure before certain renovations happen on that unit. Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program Rule – Establishes standards for anyone engaging in target housing renovation that creates lead-based paint hazards. 30 A 10-year goal was set in February 2000 by President Clinton’s Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children to eliminate childhood lead poisoning in the U.S. by 2010. As a means to achieve this goal, they released the following four (4) broad recommendations in their “Eliminating Childhood Lead Poisoning: A Federal Strategy Targeting Lead Paint Hazards,” report: • • Prevent lead exposure in children by, among other actions, increasing the availability of leadsafe dwellings by increasing funding of HUD’s lead hazard control program, controlling lead paint hazards, educating the public about lead-safe painting, renovating and maintaining units, and enforcing compliance with lead paint laws; Increase early intervention to identify and care for lead-poisoned children through screening and follow-up services for at-risk children, especially Medicaid-eligible children, and increasing coordination between federal, state, and local agencies that are responsible for lead hazard control, among other measures; 28 About the Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, May 2008.

However, despite the 1978 ban on the use of lead in new paint, children living in older homes are still at risk from deteriorating lead-based paint and its resulting lead contaminated household dust and soil. Today, lead-based paint in older housing remains the most common source of lead exposure for children. Thirty-eight million housing units in the U.S. had lead-based paint during a 1998 to 2000 survey, down from the 1990 estimate of 64 million. Still, 24 million housing units in the survey contained significant lead-based paint hazards. Of those with hazards, 1.2 million were homes of low-income families with children under 6 years of age. 32 A number of substantive steps have been taken by the U.S. to reduce and eliminate blood lead poisoning in children. The Lead Contamination Control Act (LCCA) of 1988 authorized the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S. CDC) to make grants to state and local agencies for childhood lead poisoning prevention programs that develop prevention programs and policies, educate the public, and support research to determine the effectiveness of prevention efforts at federal, state, and local levels. The U.S. CDC has carried out these activities through its Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. 33 One of the most significant actions the U.S. CDC has taken to lower blood lead levels (BLLs) in children over the past few decades is the gradual changing of the definition of an elevated BLL (EBLL). For example, during the 1960s, the criteria for an EBLL was = 60 micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL). It then dropped to =40 µg/dL in 1971, to =30 µg/dL in 1978, =25 µg/dL in 1985, and most recently, = 10 µg/dL in 1991. 34 President’s Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children.

Consequently, EBLLs in U.S. children have decreased dramatically. For example, in 1978, nearly 14.8 million children in the U.S. had lead poisoning; however, by the early 1990s, that number dropped substantially, to 890,000. 35 Diagram IV.12, below, illustrates this significant reduction in BLLs among young children leading up to the end of the 20th century. 36 Diagram IV.12 Percentage of Children Age 1-5 with BLLs >= 10 µg/dL United States CDC Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program Data 88.2% 8.6% 1976 - 1980 1988 - 1991 4.4% 1991 - 1994 2.2% 1999 - 2000 The U.S. CDC reports more recent data on the percentage of children under 72 months of age who have confirmed EBLLs. Diagram IV.13 shows that numbers continued to decline by 2008, reaching an all-time low of 0.83 percent of all children of that age. Eliminating Childhood Lead Poisoning: A Federal Strategy Targeting Lead Paint Hazards, February 2000, President’s Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children, http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/about/fedstrategy2000.pdf 36 “Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program, Statement on EBLLs. U.S. CDC, http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/research/kidsBLL.htm 35 Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 10 Amidst all of this success, a debate exists in the field of epidemiology about the definition of EBLLs in children. A growing body of research suggests that considerable damage occurs even at BLLs below 10 µg/dL. Some studies assert that some effects can be more negative at BLLs below 10 µg/dL than above it. 37 While the U.S. CDC acknowledges these associations and does not refute that they are, at least in part, causal, they have yet to lower the level of concern below 10 µg/dL. The reasons the U.S. CDC gives for this decision are as follows: it is critical to focus available resources where negative effects are greatest, setting a new level would be arbitrary since no exact threshold has been established for adverse health effects from lead, and the ability to successfully and consistently reduce BLLs below 10 µg/dL has not been demonstrated. 38 SERVICES AND PROGRAMS FOR LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS The Los Angeles County CDC undertakes a wide range of activities to address the problem of leadbased paint in housing, including outreach, assessment, and abatement. Actions to Address Lead-Based Paint Hazards The CDC understands the importance of identifying and reducing lead-based paint in the homes and communities it serves. Thus, any property receiving HOME funds or any other federal assistance is required to undergo a lead-based paint inspection. For the CDC’s homeownership program, an 37 U.S. CDC and Prevention Work Group of the Advisory Committee on Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention, Matte, MD, MPH, Thomas D., David Homa, PhD, Jessica Sanford, PhD, and Alan Pate.

August 2005, http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead/Publications/PrevleadPoisoning.pdf Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 11 inspection is ordered immediately after the reservation of loan funds, and properties must pass the inspection before loan processing occurs. An original, signed/initialed Disclosure of Information on Lead-Based Paint is required from all sellers, agents, and borrowers at the submission phase. If the property should fail the inspection, repairs are to be completed by an experienced contractor. Once repairs are completed, the CDC orders a re-inspection for clearance. All contractors participating in the CDC’s home improvement programs are required to be EPA certified, which includes training, certification and utilization of safe work practices. To educate consumers and contractors, the CDC distributes the EPA’s lead pamphlet to all homeowners and occupants before any construction work begins, in addition to obtaining written confirmation of receipt of the lead pamphlet before the work commences. Interim controls are put into place on each project to reduce human exposure to contaminants, including specialized cleaning, painting, temporary containment, and ongoing monitoring of leadbased paint hazards or potential hazards. The CDC posts informational signs about the renovations and repair work to be completed and discusses the importance of safe work practices to be utilized by the contractors/workers prior to the work starting. All records regarding notification are kept for a minimum of three (3) years. Actions Based on Extent of Lead-Based Paint Hazards The majority of the homes served by the home improvement programs are older than 1978; it is assumed that many of them have lead-based paint. CDC inspectors test the areas that will be impacted by the rehabilitation and take necessary measures to abate the conditions. All occupants are advised of any lead hazard evaluations, reports, and recommendations and of the hazard reduction activities and clearances. The required methods the CDC uses for addressing lead-based paint are crucial for eliminating the health risk to young children and adults living in residential dwellings. The actions listed are very important to address the elimination of the potential hazards of lead poisoning. The CDC protects children and families from the negative health risks associated with lead poisoning by taking the proper precautions when maintenance repairs, rehabilitation, and renovation work is performed in homes known or assumed to contain lead-based paint. Since 1999, the CDC has prepared and distributed many informative bulletins to these agencies that summarized key regulatory requirements, identified required compliance dates, provided lead information resource tools, identified training opportunities within the jurisdiction, encouraged training attendance, and provided information contact points. Since 2000, the CDC has implemented HUD’s Lead-Based Paint Regulations, which require federally funded rehabilitation projects to address lead hazards. Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 12 In 2010, the CDC secured the services of Certified Lead Consultants to conduct testing on all existing CDC loan and grant housing rehabilitation programs. In 2011, the County Board of Supervisors approved a Board Letter allowing the CDC to enter into agreements with six (6) certified Lead Consultants, who examined more than 400 homes for lead-based paint hazards during FY 2011– 2012. Additionally, the CDC offers owners and first-time homebuyers a lead abatement grant of up to $10,000 to address hazardous materials including lead-based paint, asbestos, mold, and other environmental hazards. In recent years, the CDC has proactively disseminated information on lead hazards and the new regulations to its internal staff, the Housing Authority of the County of Los Angeles, handyworker agencies, community-based organizations, non-profit organizations, and other participating public agencies that receive CDC-administered federal funds. To ensure that its staff is knowledgeable about lead regulations, the CDC has sent key staff to HUD-sponsored training sessions. The CDC has also compiled an informational source document based on HUD-sponsored training materials and conducted training sessions and question and answer forums for its participating organizations. These training sessions were designed to help program participants provide meaningful oversight of lead-hazard consultants and contractors to ensure safe work practices are followed, and to ensure that compliance requirements are implemented in conjunction with rehabilitation and renovation program activities. The CDC also has distributed notices to all Section 8 property owners and managers to notify them about the regulatory requirements, identify training opportunities, identify information resources, and address new regulatory requirements. Actions in Housing Policy All of the CDC’s lead-based paint policies and procedures relative are incorporated into its housing program operations manuals, which are regularly updated. The CDC focuses on controlling identified lead-based paint hazards, and aggressively pursues strategies and methods to prevent children and families risk of exposure. Contractor training sessions are completed and a regular review of all EPA Certifications for participating contractors is conducted for each project prior to approval. A review of federal regulations and laws is also conducted to ensure we are in compliance while utilizing federal funding for the purposes of home improvement, renovation, and homeownership. The County conducts housing inspections to determine if various types of housing are safe, sanitary, and fit for habitation. It inspects hotels, motels, and other non-medical housing on a regular basis to ensure compliance with health and safety standards. During routine performance of monitoring activities, CDBG program managers examine program records of participating organizations and request evidence of regulation compliance. Information Factor 2 Attachment 2, Page 13 regarding lead hazards and HUD’s Lead Safe Housing Rule are included in all Section 8 owner packets and tenant Request for Lease Approval packets. Emergency shelter housing participating in the County’s voucher program is also subject to health and safety inspections. Routine health and safety inspections take place in thousands of multifamily dwellings to ensure that units are maintained in accordance with HUD requirements. F. HOUSING PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT Public involvement was an essential component to the development of the five-year Consolidated Plan strategy. Much of the public opinion received on housing market issues was evaluated through the use of the 2012 Resident Survey. As discussed previously, as part of the Consolidated Plan development process, the CDC distributed a survey to residents in the 49 participating cities and unincorporated areas to collect input on the Urban County’s housing and community development needs. The survey was also administered at the five (5) community meetings held in September of 2012. RESIDENT SURVEY The following presents the key findings of these surveys from questions that evaluated perceived needs for a variety of housing areas. The order in which these are presented is based on the Urban County-wide average need ratings for many housing issues, which found the highest priority for: • • • • • Senior housing, Affordable for-sale housing, Affordable rental housing, Energy-efficient retrofitting, and Homeownership assistance. Next included are results for residential rehabilitation, accessible housing, assisted rental housing, new rental construction, and housing demolition, also presented in priority order. Discussed in respective sections are results of the survey regarding barriers to affordable housing, fair housing access, and homeless needs. A separate survey was conducted of public housing residents; this is discussed in the Public and Assisted Housing section of this chapter.

These findings illustrate the urgency of bringing a lead abatement program to our community. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP) continues to prevent adverse health and development impacts of lead poisoning by minimizing exposure to lead, reducing the incidence of lead poisoning in children, and providing a comprehensive response to support lead burdened children and their families. The team of public health nurses, health educators, epidemiology staff, and registered environmental health specialists work closely together to ensure comprehensive efforts in nursing and environmental case management, promote health screening, carry out primary prevention and surveillance activities, and provide targeted outreach and education. The grant will strengthen the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's efforts to improve environmental conditions and decrease health inequities by providing funding for lead remediation. This in turn will ensure the health and well-being of the children and families in our community. I strongly support the proposed program and urge you to consider their grant application.

Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration Grant Budget Narrative The total budget for the Lead Hazard Reduction Demonstration (LHRD) Grant and Healthy Homes Supplemental is $4,868,862. Of this, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) share will be $3,400,000, comprised of $3,000,000 in LHRD grant funds and $400,000 in Healthy Homes Supplemental (HHS) grant funds (see separate narrative). All units will receive both lead control and healthy homes interventions. The County of Los Angeles and its partners’ share will be a $1,468,862 match provided by in-kind services. Therefore, the County match equals 49% of the LHRD grant funds (i.e. $1,468,862/$3,000,000). LHRD will expend 90% ($2,701,276/$3,000,000) of HUD’s LHRD grant funds for Direct Costs and 10% will be allocated for Administrative Costs. The following is an explanation of the Program costs with Administrative costs separately described. Personnel Direct Labor - $526,240 (HUD Funds) HUD funds will pay the salaries of four staff members over the course of 24 months. The first year of the grant will be staffed by temporary personnel. The Full-time Equivalent (FTE) of these positions over that time will be: Environmental Health Specialist IV (Program Manager, 100% FTE), Environmental Health Specialist III (100% FTE), Community Worker (100% FTE), and Environmental Health Services Technician (100% FTE). The estimated HUD cost for these positions is $526,240. The Administrative Cost is $77,812 (35% of Program Manager) Personnel Direct Labor - $723,051(Applicant Match) The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health staff in the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program and Environmental Health Services Division, and the LHRD will work together to coordinate abatement and remediation services. CLPPP and EH will provide outreach and referrals for LHRD, lead awareness and education, and blood lead screening referrals.
