Covenant for Basic Needs

The Burlington Covenant for Basic Needs was established to meet the temporary, emergency needs of individuals and families who are in crisis-loss of housing, fire victims, lack of fuel or medical needs, etc. Requests for Basic Needs Assistance are screened by counselors at the Burlington Community Life Center (BCLC). The funds are intended as a one-time gift or short term assistance for people while a more permanent solution to a problem is being sought.
