Residents must meet the income guidelines, be responsible for the bill, provide their account number and show proof of income.

Assistance is available Dec. 1 - March 31 or until funds run out. December is application priority month for residents age 60 or older, or disabled and receiving services through the Division of Aging and Adult Services. All households can apply January - March 31.
