The purpose of the hearing today is to provide an update on the health and product safety issues associated with problem drywall installed in thousands of homes over the last decade. It's a story that we all know well. Drywall was imported from China in large volumes during the height of the housing market when domestic supplies were low. It was used extensively in Florida and Louisiana following the devastating hurricanes of 2005. In early 2008, homeowners in Florida and Louisiana began complaining of a peculiar odor that was permeating their homes. They also reported health concerns and serious corrosion of metal in the homes. Investigators were able to trace these problems back to drywall laced with sulphur and sulphide gases.

Through its Disaster Loan Program, the Small Business Admin. (SBA) has been a major source of assistance for the restoration of commerce and households in areas stricken by natural and human-caused disasters. SBA offers direct loans to businesses to help repair, rebuild, and recover from economic losses after a disaster, but approximately 80% of the agency¿s approved direct disaster loans are made to individuals and households (renters and property owners) to help repair and replace homes and personal property. This report describes the SBA Disaster Loan Program, including the types of loans available to individuals, households, businesses, and nonprofit org. It highlights eight issues of potential congressional concern. Charts and tables.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has received more than 3,000 reports from citizens in 37 States, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, and Puerto Rico who believe that health symptoms and/or corrosion of certain metal products in their homes are related to the presence of drywall in their homes that was imported from China. The CPSC and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently issued joint guidance that recommends the replacement of possible problem drywall, fire safety alarm devices, electrical components and wiring, gas service piping, and fire suppression sprinkler systems in homes that have problem drywall in them. Until the replacements recommended by CPSC and HUD have been completed, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) recommends that homeowners be alert for possible electrical or pipe problems, and that they take additional precautions to ensure that their life safety alarms are working properly.
