Which of the following is a purpose of Title X?

• A. Eliminate LBP hazards
• B. Increase regulatory costs for landlords
• C. Limit inspections to select neighborhoods
• D. Reduce funding for housing programs

Answer: (A)

Title X refers to the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, enacted to prevent and remove lead-based paint hazards in housing, with a focus on protecting children from lead exposure. Its main purpose is to eliminate these hazards by funding lead hazard control programs, requiring disclosure of known lead hazards in housing transactions, and promoting risk assessment and abatement. That’s why eliminating lead-based paint hazards is the best description of Title X’s purpose. The other options don’t reflect the act’s mission: it isn’t about increasing regulatory costs for landlords, restricting inspections to certain neighborhoods, or reducing funding for housing programs.
