Evaluate and Reduce Lead Paint Hazards The City of Boynton Beach adheres to regulations that require testing and mitigation where applicable [all units being rehabilitated using CDBG funding built prior to 1978], and make risk assessments. This evaluation is to determine the necessary measures to be taken in order to create a safe environment for families occupying properties that are suspected of being contaminated as required by HUD’s Lead-Based Final Rule, which was effective September 2000 (24 CFR 35). For all of properties built prior to 1978, the City of Boynton Beach will adhere to the following: a. Participant property owners are notified of the hazards of lead-based paint and of the symptoms associated with lead-based paint with the distribution of the HUD approved pamphlet Renovate Right published by EPA. The City 13 further prohibits the use of lead-based paint in any federally funded construction or rehabilitation project. b. The City shall perform lead-paint testing on all painted surfaces. For residential purposes, residents receiving an average of up to $5,000 of rehabilitative construction the City shall: • Perform paint testing on the painted surfaces to be disturbed or replaced during rehabilitation activities, or presume that all painted surfaces are coated with lead-based paint.

Only contractors who are certified lead abatement contractors will perform lead abatement. 4. Reduce the Number of Poverty Level Families The City of Boynton Beach’s efforts to reduce the number of families in poverty coincides with its Economic Development efforts designed to provide incentives to business owners who will stimulate the economy by expanding employment opportunities to its low and low moderate income residents. Businesses receiving Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds as Economic Development incentives to locate to or expand their businesses in Boynton Beach will be required to provide jobs with living wage salaries. Additionally, the City currently funds Pathways to Prosperity and The Community Caring Center. These agencies provide services that educate and teach self-sufficiency and will reduce the number of families in poverty. Partnerships with social service agencies and housing providers will greatly increase the effectiveness and efficiency of our commitment to reducing poverty. 5.

Enhance Coordination between Public and Private Housing and Social Service Agencies Due to its limited resources staffing, the City of Boynton Beach relies heavily upon other public and private resources to provide much needed services. The City continues to refer citizens to these services that are locally and county wide by keeping a data base with contacts and numbers of these various agencies, and continuously makes referrals to appropriate agencies as needed. These agencies also serve as a vehicle to provide statistics indicating the number of citizens receiving services, which is also a good indication as to the types of services that are needed. These agencies are inclusive, but not limited to the ones listed above. Pathways to Prosperity – The City of Boynton Beach is expanding its relationship with this agency this fiscal year by providing CDBG funding. The agency is an element of the Children’s Services Council that connects local families to community resources that offer medical care and educational opportunities to prevent school dropouts, pregnancy prevention, drug abuse and ultimately criminal activity. The program is associated with and located within the Heart of Boynton through the local St. John Missionary Baptist Church. The Delray Beach Housing Authority – The Delray Beach Housing Authority currently has 228 housing choice vouchers throughout the City of Boynton Beach. The City’s ongoing partnership with this agency to assist its residents who are citizens of Boynton Beach in becoming productive citizens by keeping them informed of potential employment opportunities and permanent housing opportunities as they become available. Their self-sufficiency program which promotes employment and increased savings for families on assisted living helps 15 them to become economically independent, obtain jobs, and further their education and eventually becoming home owners. Ultimately taking control of their lives The Community Caring Center (CCC) – Funded in part with Community Development Block Grant funds, it continues to provide direct emergency social services to families and individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless including frail and elderly seniors with its food programs, temporary emergency shelter, financial assistance and other services. The agency partners with and makes referrals to the Toby Center, Gold Coast Down-Syndrome, Pathways to Prosperity, and outreaches with agencies who work with the Hispanic Community, the Guatemalan-Maya and Caridad Center, just to name a few of the many social service agencies that provide services to City of Boynton Beach residents who seek assistance through their agency.
