To determine your eligibility, you'll need to call and schedule an appointment. Be prepared to provide the following documentation:

  • Proof of shut-off notice

  • Verification of all household income

  • Copies of all household bills

To get started, call to make an appointment, or email us!  

Referrals are also accepted from other agencies.
