Donor Name: South Bend City
State: Indiana
City: South Bend

Deadline: 08/15/2022
Details:
The program offers easy self-install, solar-powered lampposts for residential front yards. The solar lampposts must be mounted in a level area within approximately five feet of the edge of sidewalk. They cannot be installed in the tree lawn.
There is a limit of one lamppost per household. The homeowner is responsible for pickup, installation and any maintenance of the lamppost after installation. The City’s Division of Engineering will inspect the lampposts to ensure proper installation.
The cost-share program is available to homeowners within city limits. For 2022, the City has selected two target areas based on income, number of vacant lots and need for lighting in the neighbourhood. Homeowners who live within the target areas will pay a lower share of the total cost:
- Within target areas, homeowners pay 10% of total lamppost cost: $50
- Outside target areas, homeowners pay 50% of total lamppost cost: $250
Eligibility Criteria
The program is offered to South Bend homeowners within city limits. For 2022, the City has selected two target areas based on income, number of vacant lots and need for lighting in the neighbourhood; however, all homeowners can apply.
