Ted Wimpey, Director of the Fair Housing Project at CVOEO, speaks with Lauren Pyatt, Education & Outreach Specialist with the Burlington Lead Program. Lauren explains how the Burlington Lead Program generally works and its various benefits, especially to people with lower incomes who are often in a protected fair housing class such as: people with various disabilities, members of ethnic and racial minority populations, people with young children, New Americans (especially those with limited English ability), and others.
