Homeowner Rehab

The Homeowner Housing Rehabilitation Program is intended to seize the decline of housing stock in Southern Clearfield County and the city of DuBois caused by deterioration and aging. The program will enable eligible homeowners to receive home improvements and preservation methods that will enhance energy conservation and provide safe and affordable housing.

Lead Based Paint Assessment

When a person has too much lead in the body, lead poisoning occurs. Caused by exposure to lead that is eaten or breathed in the form of dust, lead poisoning harms several organs including the nervous system and kidneys. Young children are at the greatest risk of lead poisoning. Symptoms mimic the flu and lead poisoning can only be detected by a blood test. Central PA Community Action has joined the Northwest Regional Lead Hazard Control Grant in order to remove lead-based paint hazards from the homes of low-income families. Applicants must meet one of the following requirements: a child under the age of six living in the house or spending more than 60 hours per year in the home, a pregnant woman, or a woman 16-45 years of age. Income limits are set using the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Call today for more information regarding this program and to see if you qualify.
