Milpitas, California, is inviting eligible small businesses to apply for grants of up to US$4,000 toward storefront window-film installation. The city promoted its Storefront Crime Prevention Grant Program in an October 13 announcement.
The official program page says the City Council allocated US$100,000 and that grants will be awarded through a competitive selection process. Businesses with 10 or fewer employees receive priority in the initial selection.
Applicants must be for-profit businesses within city limits, employ no more than 25 people, and operate a storefront with windows that could serve as entry points. A valid Milpitas business license and no outstanding code violations are also required.
The city presents the program as a response to retail theft and vandalism. Its pages do not identify a film product, installation specification or test standard. The funding announcement therefore establishes a grant opportunity, rather than independently verified security performance.
The program page links to the application form but does not state an application deadline. Businesses can consult that page for the city’s current requirements.
