The Bear Den can assist with all these Services and more!

How it works:

You get two quotes (estimates) from different contractors, take some photos, and submit them with your application form. Easy!

Homeowners pay at least 25% of the cost of the project, rental property owners pay at least 50%, and low income homeowners pay at least 10% (see Step 4 for income guidelines)

SNA pays the rest, up to $3,500. If you go over that amount, you’ll also be responsible for covering the remainder.

SNA provides reimbursement after you have fully paid for your project — if this affects your ability to access the program, please let us know.

Example 1

 

The total cost of your quote is $5,800

SNA pays the maximum incentive of $3,500

You pay the remaining $2,300 (25% plus any amount over the maximum incentive)

Example 2

 

The total cost of your quote is $1,500

You pay 25% of $1,500, which is $375

SNA pays the remaining amount of $1,125
