Lead Hazard Control Program
The Lead Hazard Control Program (LHCP) creates lead-safe environments in the homes of low-income families with children under age six. This program is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provides funding to six cities and two counties in Pennsylvania.
The cities of Bethlehem, Easton, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Lancaster, Philadelphia, and the counties of Allegheny and Fayette conduct home inspections, program eligibility determination and lead hazard control activities in the homes of families with young children. These activities are conducted in order to prevent childhood lead poisoning or prevent further poisoning in children with elevated blood lead levels.
Funds are used to inspect and treat paint hazards in housing that is not federally owned, federally assisted or publicly owned. Inspections and lead hazard control work must be carried out by Pennsylvania certified lead inspectors/risk assessors and contractors.
