The first rebate round ran September 28–October 9. The current program page confirms that registration is closed; it is not an invitation to apply now. It lists $1,200 vouchers for income-qualified residents and $600 for other eligible residents, with the next intake planned for early spring 2027 but no exact opening date.
Applicants must be New Orleans residents aged at least 18 and provide residency evidence. The process includes an online safety course, eligibility verification, random selection and in-person training. A voucher must be used for a new qualifying purchase at a participating local retailer; buying an e-bike beforehand does not secure reimbursement.
The newsletter also describes free combined carbon-monoxide and smoke alarms. Its linked NOFD request page explains free smoke-alarm installation, specialized equipment for Deaf or Hard of Hearing residents, and battery help for people unable to replace batteries themselves. Confirm which equipment a request covers rather than assuming every installation includes a combined alarm.
Schools can ask about free crossing-guard training and supplies. Contact InjuryPrevention@nola.gov for that service, or use the official smoke-alarm request page for home installations. No new filing cutoff is given for either service.
