ESG Housing Habitability Standards
Inspection Checklist
About this Tool
The standards for housing unit inspections under ESG are the housing
habitability standards described in the HUD ESG Interim Rule. These
standards apply when a program participant is receiving financial assistance
and moving into a new (different) unit or remaining in a current unit.
Inspections must be conducted upon initial occupancy and then on an annual
basis for the term of ESG assistance.
The habitability standards are different from the Housing Quality Standards
(HQS) used for other HUD programs. Because the HQS criteria are more
stringent than the habitability standards, a grantee could use either standard.
In contrast to HQS inspections, the habitability standards do not require a
certified inspector. As such, ESG program staff could conduct the inspections,
using a form such as this one to document compliance.
Instructions: Mark each statement as ‘A’ for approved or ‘D’ for deficient. The property must meet all
standards in order to be approved. A copy of this checklist should be placed in the client file.
Approved
or Element
Deficient
1. Structure and materials: The structures must be structurally sound so as not to pose
any threat to the health and safety of the occupants and so as to protect the
residents from hazards.
2. Access: The housing must be accessible and capable of being utilized without
unauthorized use of other private properties. Structures must provide alternate
means of egress in case of fire.
3. Space and security: Each resident must be afforded adequate space and security for
themselves and their belongings. Each resident must be provided with an
acceptable place to sleep.
4. Interior air quality: Every room or space must be provided with natural or
mechanical ventilation. Structures must be free of pollutants in the air at levels that
threaten the health of residents.
5. Water Supply: The water supply must be free from contamination.
6. Sanitary Facilities: Residents must have access to sufficient sanitary facilities that
are in proper operating condition, may be used in privacy, and are adequate for
personal cleanliness and the disposal of human waste.

Lead’s Effects
It is important to know that even exposure
to low levels of lead can severely harm
children.
In children, lead can cause:
Nervous system and kidney damage.
Learning disabilities, attention deficit Brain or Nerve Damage
Hearing damage.
While low-lead exposure is most
common, exposure to high levels of
lead can have devastating effects on
children, including seizures, uncon-
sciousness, and, in some cases, death.
Although children are especially
susceptible to lead exposure, lead
can be dangerous for adults too.

I have received the lead-based paint infomration packet, “Protect Your Family From Lead Paint

based paint and how to identify potential problem areas.
I now understand that any housing unit that I may obtain that was built prior to 1978 may have
lead issues. I also understand that any housing unit in which children 6 years old and younger
live in or regularly visit must pass a lead inspection before the unit can be occupied.

The Pennsylvania Homeless Management Information System (“PA HMIS”) serves the Pennsylvania Continuums of Care
Collaborative, a group of agencies (“PA HMIS Participating Agencies”) working together to provide services to individuals
and families in Pennsylvania who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. In an effort to end homelessness, PA
HMIS allows the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and PA HMIS Participating Agencies to use this system to efficiently
collaborate, identify, coordinate, and evaluate individual services needed. The PA HMIS is also used to produce non-
identifying, aggregate reports that can be used to track program performance which is necessary to receive program
funding from the federal government, identify unfilled service needs, and plan for new service provision.
This process is beneficial to improving your case management and received services, as well as assisting PA HMIS
Participating Agencies to locate multiple housing or service options. Additionally, sharing information between PA HMIS
Participating Agencies can reduce the number of times you are asked for repeated information. By consenting to share
this information with participating agencies, you will allow PA HMIS to provide better coordination between PA HMIS
Participating Agencies in an effort for you to obtain and maintain permanent housing.
Information collected in the PA HMIS database is protected in compliance with the standards set forth in the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Every person and agency that is authorized to read or enter
information into the database has signed an agreement to maintain the security and confidentiality of your information.
Any person or agency that is found to violate their agreement may have their access rights terminated and may be
subject to further penalties including legal action.
I UNDERSTAND THAT:
In an effort to end homelessness and to better serve me and/or my family, the PA HMIS Participating Agency
identified at the bottom of this form will collect and may share my identifying information with other PA HMIS
Participating Agencies via PA HMIS.
The intention and purpose of collecting and sharing my information is to help PA HMIS Participating Agencies
better understand and assist my/our needs, and to produce non-identifying, aggregate reports to the federal
government that can be used to track the program performance of these agencies.
The PA HMIS participating agencies have signed agreements and are bound to implement policies to maintain
my information in a secure and confidential manner, as mandated by Federal and State laws.
The release of my information does not guarantee that I will receive assistance. Alternatively, refusing to
release my information will not affect my opportunity to receive assistance.
This authorization will remain in effect unless I revoke it in writing. I may revoke authorization at any time by
returning to the PA HMIS Participating Agency identified at the bottom of this form and signing a new consent
form using the “I do not agree” option. If I revoke my authorization, all information about me already in the
database will remain to retain usage history; however, it will be inactive and not updated. I further understand
that any revocation of this consent will not affect the waiver of confidentiality as to information already
disclosed.
