*Acceptance into the program and completion of a home assessment does not guarantee the implementation of home upgrades; the program reserves the right not to move forward with repairs and upgrades on homes that do not meet the above criteria or whose total health and safety project needs exceed the per-home cap of $60,000. The per-home health and safety cap must cover all identified health and safety-related measures other than lead abatement. This cap is exclusive of any justified change orders that may arise over the course of construction, in the sole determination of the program.

Examples of health and safety-related measures, the total cost of which may not exceed the per-home cap in order to maintain eligibility for the program, include but are not limited to: asbestos abatement, mold remediation and associated repair costs, plumbing repairs, electrical wiring upgrades, bulk water mitigation strategies, porch repairs/rebuilds, gas leak repairs, and correcting improper venting.
