Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose
health hazards if not managed properly. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing, lessors must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling. Lessees must also receive a federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention.

If you are indigent and cannot afford hospital and medical care, including medications, or basic necessities such as rent, food, and utilities, then the county is required by law to assist you in paying for them. This is a "last resort" program. This means that the county will pay for these services or necessities only if you have no other way of paying for them on a temporary basis. If, for example, you receive Medical Assistance through the state, then that program must pay for your hospital and medical bills.
If you’re 62 or older and looking for money to finance a home improvement, pay off your current mortgage, supplement your retirement income, or pay for healthcare expenses, you may be considering a reverse mortgage. It’s a product that allows you to convert part of the equity in your home into cash without having to sell your home or take on additional monthly bills...
Are you considering a reverse mortgage? Better look before you leap. While a reverse mortgage could put money in your hands, the transaction is likely to be quite confusing. A reverse mortgage deal could also put a lot of your money in someone else’s pocket. Still, if you are a senior and a home owner and short of cash to make ends meet, a reverse mortgage can be a lifesaver. That’s because a reverse mortgage taps your home equity – that’s the market value of your house minus the outstanding balance on any existing mortgages – for cash.
