Your application paperwork

Indiana's Lead Protection / Healthy Homes program, run by IHCDA with the state health department, finds and removes lead-based paint and other home health hazards in pre-1978 homes where a child under 6 lives. Services are free to qualified owner-occupants and renters and can include lead hazard control, electrical, structural, moisture, and radon work. You apply through the state program.

  3. Submit it to the program (email dpugh@ihcda.in.gov or call 317-234-6289).
