What We Do
CSC provides utility assistance to help our neighbors with basic life essentials that everyone deserves. We partner with local utility providers to keep lights on and your home comfortable year-round!
Due to high volume, we will not be making applications available in February. Per usual, completed apps (including required docs) can be returned any time. Applications should be available again in March.
Appointments are not required to apply. Screening forms are available the third week of each month in office and to download. Completed forms and documents can be returned any time.
If you’re at risk or already have a disconnection, please contact our Utility Assistance help desk for help, even when applications are closed.
Find answers to common questions about how utility assistance works, qualifications, and applying. Additional questions? Contact us.
Utility Assistance is closed for the season. Households with seniors (60+) and disabled individuals (receiving disability payments) will be served in November. If that includes your household and you’ve been served before, an application will be mailed to you by November 15th. 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.
Please note propane assistance will follow the same timelines and applications for propane will be processed in the order received with all other applications.
If you are at risk of a disconnection, please work with your utility provider. For questions, please call the Utility Assistance Help Desk.
