Keep Records
All PHAs must identify and accumulate all LBP records pertaining to their properties. PHAs must ensure they compile records during the process of preparing units for rent, leasing the units, maintaining them, and responding to any report of a child with an EBLL. They ensure that all records pertaining to LBP in all pre-1978 units are securely stored and available for inspection and disclosure. PHA staff needs to review documentation to ensure the supporting documentation clearly establishes that all work was done in accordance with the LSHR and HUD Guidelines. Records must be retained for at least three years past the end of any assistance contract, or longer according to the specific rules of the funding program.
