Exterior Paint Grants
		Please note that Exterior Paint Grants will not be funded in 2009 due to reduced CDBG funding. CEDO offers exterior paint grants for property owners and tenants in Burlington's Enterprise Community, King Street Neighborhood, and the Lakeside Community.

Who is eligible?

The Paint Program covers a portion of the cost of paint only to income-eligible property owners and tenants on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Property owners and/or tenants must meet income guidelines. Eligible properties with 7 or less rental units will be considered for the program.

The Paint Program covers only a portion of the cost of paint and does not include painting supplies. The property owner(s) is responsible for paying a portion of the paint costs, including taxes. Paint Program Awards will be as follows:

• Owner-Occupied Single Family House will receive up to $500.00 total
• Owner-Occupied Residential Rental Property with less than 7 units will receive up to $500.00 total
• Residential Rental Property with less than 7 units will receive ½ the cost of the paint or up to $500.00, whichever is less

Participants are responsible for purchasing all other supplies and for labor.

The 2008 Exterior Paint Program is completed for this season. Please check back in late April 2009 for additional funding. Get your Essential Maintenance Practices certification now. You or your painter must have this certification to get free paint.
