Utility Assistance
Next to the cost of rent or mortgage, utility costs have a large impact on family budgets and overall household stability for low-income families.

The Utility Assistance Program is designed to prevent utility disconnects and stabilize utility costs for low-income households. Panhandle Community Services works with both public and private funds to pay the utility bills of low-income families. In addition, staff provides families and individuals with educational information to help reduce their utility cost and budget counseling to help them manage the cost of their utilities.
