The Defensible Space Reimbursement Program was funded by a grant from the Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund. The Low-income Senior Defensible Space Program was funded by an award from the Oregon State Fire Marshal grant to Deschutes County. Our goal is to continue funding both defensible space programs at the current level.
