Neighborhood Safety Program
The Neighborhood Safety Program (NSP) is a crime and disaster prevention program that utilizes Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funds to help at-risk and low to moderate income families who reside within the City of Pittsburgh and the County of Allegheny to have safer homes.

City and county residents who meet income eligibility requirements may receive an array of installed home security and safety items "free of charge". These items include life-lights, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, deadbolt locks, and auxiliary security hardware including door peepholes and doorknobs. Installation of these items provides greater protection from injury, death due to fire or carbon monoxide poisoning, and robbery.

NSP has served over 22,500 households. NSP remains committed to providing a continuum of safety support to eligible households and works closely with other social service organizations to assist individuals and families who are in crisis. Priority service is given to victims of domestic violence, the elderly, persons living with disabilities.

Applications for the Neighborhood Safety Program can be made by calling 412-392-6467 Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
