Security Rebate Program

All available 2022 funds for this program have been distributed.

Tangletown Neighborhood Association offered a security rebate program to assist our residents in making safety improvements to their homes and apartments. The rebate covered a variety of safety improvements listed below and we matched 50% of expenses up to $500.
