All completed applications for the 2024 season are due Friday 8/30. Applications will not be available in September. If you are at risk of a crisis, contact our help desk and make payment arrangements with your utility provider.
Appointments are not required to apply for assistance! Stop by our offices or download online, submit, and watch your mailbox for your receipt in 6-8 weeks! Learn more below.
If you’re at risk of facing a utility crisis, or already have a disconnection, please contact our Utility Assistance help desk for help, even when applications are closed.

Utility Assistance is closed for the season. Households with seniors (60+) and disabled individuals (receiving disability payments) will be served in November.

If you have not received assistance before, please call to request an application.
The new season will open for the public in December. Like last year, applications will be available one week per month, typically the third week. Applications are set to open December 16th – 20th online and in our regional offices. As always, completed applications, including required documentation, can be returned any time.
