How does the program work?
Home security work can be completed by a licensed contractor (to ensure that your contractor is licensed, please contact the Minneapolis City License Department at 612-673-2080) and/or on a do-it-yourself basis. You may have to meet City permit requirements for your project. Call 311 and they will direct you to the correct source to determine whether your project requires a permit.
Subsidies are awarded on a fist-some, first-served basis as funds are available.
