Title X is about protecting people from lead hazards in homes. Its main purpose is to identify and reduce lead-based paint hazards in housing built before 1978 and to require disclosure of known lead paint hazards and safe renovation practices. In practice, this means landlords and sellers must disclose any known lead hazards to buyers or renters and provide the required lead information, and renovators must follow lead-safe work practices (often with certified renovators) when working in pre-1978 housing. The other options don’t fit because this program isn’t about funding new housing, regulating soil in parks, or monitoring pesticide use.
