Investigative Reporter at News 5 Cleveland
Cleveland City Council members grilled Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority leaders over how it manages lead safety issues after a federal report revealed several violations during a four-hour-long committee meeting at Cleveland City Hall Wednesday. The Health, Human Services and the Arts Committee asked CMHA leaders to discuss the recently released audit from the U.S.
Specifically, the report said CMHA failed to follow federal rules when it did not inform HUD about 10 cases of children with elevated levels of lead in their blood or that it could not confirm reports of 4 additional cases. The report also said in five of those cases, CMHA also failed to conduct an adequate environmental investigation and did not investigate one case at all.
