Lead Safe and Healthy Homes Rehabilitation Programs

How it works

Westmoreland County’s Lead Safe and Healthy Homes Program starts with a home risk assessment to identify lead-based paint issues and other health and safety hazards. The county then uses a lead-abatement contractor to stabilize or eliminate the hazards at no cost to the homeowner or tenant.

The page also says there is a separate Whole-Home Repairs funding opportunity, but only for owner-occupied homeowners who already qualified through the Lead Safe Westmoreland program. The repair scope for that funding is based on a home health risk assessment.

What the money covers

The official page lists example work that may be performed, including:

• Window replacement or repair
• Door replacement or repair
• Paint stabilization, including repainting chipping and peeling lead-based painted surfaces
• Minimal structural repairs
• Enclosing old exterior lead-painted trim and siding

The page says lead-painted surfaces and other health and safety hazards in the home will be addressed.

Amounts and matching

• No dollar cap is stated on the page.
• No matching requirement is stated.
• The qualifying work is provided at no cost to the homeowner or tenant.

How to apply

The page includes an application section, but the text shown does not provide a step-by-step application process or required submission method.

Timing and deadlines

• No application window is stated.
• No deadline is stated.

Notes for homeowners

This is a lead-safety and home health/safety rehabilitation program rather than a wildfire-specific hardening program. However, some eligible repairs, such as window and door work and limited structural repairs, can also improve general home resilience.
