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, water running, and your home comfortable year-round!
Find answers to common questions about how utility assistance works, qualifications, and applying. Have more questions? Contact us!
Please note: due to funds being low until the season restarts in the winter, you must call to be screened, application cannot be downloaded.
You can schedule an appointment (not required) to review eligibility criteria and start the application process. Call your county’s automated scheduling line below.
Financial assistance with power, water, and gas bills, and other heating methods. Assistance is available year-round, and does not require a shut-off notice or past due bill.
No, this program is for residences and individuals only.
Apply by downloading the application on this page, or calling for an appointment to help you with the application. Once the application process is complete and you qualify, your 'pledge' will be applied directly to your utility account. Please note, application processing can take up to 6-8 weeks.
Our appointments can fill up fast, we recommend calling around the 1st of the month as that is when we open the following month’s availability. You also don't need an application to apply! See below about downloading an application.
No, you need to continue paying your utility bill as you're able. If you have a shut off notice, or will not be able to pay a future bill, call your utility provider to make a payment plan and let them know you have applied with us. It can take 2-3 billing cycles to post in your account, depending on your utility provider.
Eligibility criteria apply. Households (includes all adults living in the residence) must meet income guidelines.
Until the season restarts in the winter, applications are NOT being accepted due to low funds. If you have immediate need, please call the Utility Assistance help line at (541) 704-7632 to be screened.
