WHEREAS, HUD Notice PIH 2017-13 section 13 requests public housing authorities (PHAs) to enter into a data sharing agreement between the PHA and the local health department to provide an updated list of housing choice voucher (HCV) property addresses so that the health department may evaluate wither they have information about Elevated Blood Lead Level (EBLL) incidences at specific addresses with HCV participant families;
WHEREAS, the Housing Authority of the City of Milwaukee worked with the Milwaukee Health Department to develop an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement to allow the sharing of data and to ensure it is protected and maintained as confidential; and
