Relocation is vital because health experts agree that one of the most important things that you can do in treating a person with a high blood lead level is to move the person to a safer environment as soon as possible. Permanent relocation occurs when the family moves to a lead-safe home, and does not return to the original home. For permanent relocation, the Offeror may suggest choices for new homes for your family. After reviewing their suggestions you have the right to choose your own home, but it must be lead-safe. The Offeror must provide payment for moving and other related costs.
Temporary relocation is when the family moves out of the home while the owner makes it lead-safe.
After the repairs are done, the family may move back into the home. The Offeror will pay the rent for the time the family spends in temporary, lead-safe housing. Also, they will pay for moving, storing, or cleaning furniture, and possibly food costs for the family while work is being done on the home. The only payments that come directly to the family are for minor expenses. The Offeror will pay for treatments that are not covered by your own medical insurance or Medicaid.
