HUD OIG is auditing HUD's oversight of lead based paint remediation.  Lead-based paint hazards present a health risk to tenants, particularly children, and the effects of lead poisoning may permanently alter the lives of those exposed.  The objective is to determine whether HUD has adequate oversight of lead-based paint remediation in public housing.

HUD OIG is reviewing an Ohio Housing Authority’s public housing program.  The Authority received more than $8.3 million in operating subsidies and more than $5.7 million in Capital Fund grants in fiscal year 2018. The audit objective is to determine whether the Authority complied with Federal and its own requirements for procuring services and disbursing program funds.
