This historical note analyzes the extent to which Housing Allowance Office standards regarding the removal of lead paint impacted the extent, cost, type, and validity of repairs undertaken during the Housing Allowance Supply Experiment (HASE). HASE was a long-running research demonstration during which low-income households were provided with monthly cash payments in order to offset their housing costs, on the condition that dwellings met with certain minimum standards.
