July 13, 2012 (San Diego)--The City of San Diego and the nonprofit organization Rebuilding Together San Diego, have developed a program to increase lighting in several areas within the City.
Rebuilding Together San Diego has coordinated purchase and installation of high powered, motion-activated L.E.D floodlights which are battery-operated and charged via solar panels. These lights and their installation are free of charge to qualifying residents.
The lights will be available in eligible mid-city census tracts and to residents who qualify, based on age or income level. Lights are mounted on the exterior of a home and can illuminate a front yard, alley or other area where low lighting may encourage criminal activity.
According to San Diego Police, this approach has had a positive impact on criminal activity in neighborhoods and brought an increased feeling of safety to residents.
