2015 POWERLINK FIRE GRANTS

    

2015 FIRE GRANT MEETING
Deerhorn Fire Station ~ 2383 Honey Springs Rd.
Saturday, January 17th
2:00 PM

 The Powerlink lines increased the risk of catastrophic wildfire to Deerhorn Valley and other areas.  These yearly homeowner grants are a yearly requirement for SDG&E.  But it is up to you to make your application.

For 2015 the grant is a maximum of $2137. The funds can be used for defensible space OR structure hardening*.  Nearly all grants in Deerhorn Valley are awarded for the full amount.  Deerhorn Valley is a highest-priority area.  When funds remain, they have been awarded to areas with lower risk.

These grants not only help you stay safer, they contribute the to overall safety of your neighbors and community.  

Green areas are eligible for the yearly fire grants. All parcels (with homes) in Deerhorn Valley are included.
This year's grant is for a maximum of $2137 (the grants are adjusted each year for cost-of-living). The Powerlink lines are red. The full-scale eligibility map is on the website:  http://www.sunrisepowerlinkgrants.com

If you are eligible and need an application mailed to you.  If you are a renter, the homeowner must make the application.  Make sure they are aware of this.  If you need an application mailed to you:
Sunrise Powerlink Grants Office 
619-722-7512

A representative from the Grants Program will be there to go over this year's program and answer your questions.  Tom Lamb, Outer Jamul Firesafe Council President, will host the meeting.
