East Isles offers home-security rebates to deter break-ins
The East Isles Neighborhood Association rebates up to $250 per household for deadbolts, exterior lighting and alarm systems, using leftover city neighborhood-revitalization money.
The home-security rebate covers three things: deadbolt locks, exterior lighting for doorways and garages, and the purchase and installation of security alarm systems, though not monthly monitoring fees, according to the association's program page. Single-family households can be reimbursed up to $250 one time; buildings with four or more units can claim up to $1,000.
The money comes from the City of Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program, which lets each neighborhood organization spend a share of city funds on locally chosen priorities. East Isles is drawing on its remaining NRP balance for the rebates.
Residents apply by sending a completed application with itemized invoices and receipts to [email protected], or by mail to the East Isles Neighborhood Association, 2801 Hennepin Ave. S., #294, Minneapolis, MN 55408. Receipts must be dated within three months of the application, and rebates are paid first-come, first-served while funds last, so approval is not guaranteed. Approved applicants are mailed a check.
Full eligibility rules and the application form are posted at
