Our mission is to create safer homes and neighborhoods by incentivizing homeowners to not have guns 

Help Us Create a Safe Home Credit

 

This inaugural campaign of the Safe Home Intitiative is to persuade the home
insurance industry in MA to offer a discounted policy rate to homeowners
without guns. We call this a Safe Home Credit. While we are starting with the
Massachusetts home insurance industry, our goal, with your help, will be to
make this a national movement.

A financial incentive – such as a discounted homeowner policy – is one way to
motivate people to remove guns from their homes or to never acquire one in
the first place. The home insurance industry provides these kinds of discounts
to families without other risks in their homes such as swimming pools,
trampolines and dogs. But not guns.
