The Burlington Lead Program (BLP) was established in 2004 and
has reduced hazards in over 100 Burlington homes since its
creation. BLP is funded through a grant from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide
information, technical services, and financial assistance for
Burlington and Winooski residents to address lead-based paint
hazards. Burlington has over 10,000 housing units that
were built before 1978 that potentially have lead-based paint
hazards. Enroll your property and BLP will help to reduce
those hazards.
- Reduce lead poisoning among Burlington and Winooski children under age 6

- Conduct public education to raise awareness about lead paint hazards
- To promote safe and effective methods of reducing lead
paint hazards and to promote lead safe work practices
