Utility Assistance
Next to the cost of rent or mortgage, utility costs significantly impact family budgets and overall household stability for low-income families. The Utility Assistance Program is designed to prevent disconnects and stabilize utility costs for low-income households. Panhandle Community Services works with 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 costs and budget counseling to help them manage the cost of their utilities.
Eligibility
To receive utility assistance, the household must have current outstanding utility bill(s), live at the residence, and be at or below 150% of the current U.S. Poverty Guidelines.
