Help paying utility bills

Households facing a shutoff notice or high seasonal energy costs may qualify for utility-payment assistance.

Topic: UtilitiesAudience: Residents

Available support

Programs may help with electricity, water, natural gas, heating fuel, or cooling costs. Emergency funds often prioritize households with a pending disconnection.

What to have ready

Keep the most recent utility bill, account number, proof of income, and any shutoff notice. Apply before the service is disconnected when possible.

Energy assistance and housing assistance are different programs. Ask an intake worker which application fits your need.
