Healthy Homes Program

How it works

The Healthy Homes Program helps Lancaster City residents fix issues in their homes that threaten health and safety. Homeowners and tenants may apply. After an application is approved, trained City staff evaluate the residents’ needs and determine what will make the home safer.

What the money or work covers

The page lists examples of eligible work, including:

• handrails for elderly residents
• ramps for disabled residents
• radon testing and mitigation
• vent fans to prevent mold
• pest management
• weatherization
• new doors, windows, and locks
• efforts to reduce asthma triggers

Amounts and matching

The official page does not state a dollar amount, reimbursement level, cap, or matching requirement.

How to apply

The page links to an "Application for Homeowners" under Documents & Resources. It also says trained City staff evaluate the needs of the residents after the application is approved.

Timing and deadlines

The page does not publish an application deadline, opening date, or closing date.

Notes

The program is described as a broad health-and-safety home repair service rather than a disaster-specific grant. Because of that, it can overlap with general hardening needs such as weatherization, doors and windows, and pest or mold-related repairs.
