Edward T. Coleman, Chief Executive Officer, announced that the Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Inc. (CAADC) is now accepting applications for the Lead Hazard Control Program. This free program typically provides new windows and doors to replace older ones that contain lead paint. Many homes built before 1978 have lead paint, which can cause a wide range of negative health effects, from behavioral problems and learning disabilities, in children under six years old.
CAADC’s program is designed to remove lead-based paint hazards from the homes of income-eligible families with children under the age of six. The Agency can spend up to $5,000 per house and all services are free pending proof of eligibility. Applicants must be a homeowner (renters are not eligible at this time) and be a resident of Delaware County except residents in Upper Darby, Haverford, or Chester.
Services typically include replacing doors and windows, installing new drywall, replacing trim and moldings, etc. Please call Community Action Agency at (610) 891-5101 for an application and more information.
