SNI Safe and Tidy Program
In order to keep our homes and neighborhoods safe from accidents, fires, and crime, it is crucial that we keep things tidy and remove unnecessary and dangerous items from our surroundings. If you live in a SNI neighborhood and you need assistance, you may qualify for a one-time service to have the unwanted and heavy items removed by an insured contractor at no cost to you.
Rental property is eligible with the property owner’s/landlord’s contact information and signature. You will need to be present during the inspection and at completion. This program is funded by the City of OKC CDBG Program and HUD.
