NeighborImpact’s Energy Assistance program can provide financial assistance to income-qualified residents of the Tri-County area with electric and gas bills as well as propane, wood and oil. The program has funds available and is accepting applications now.
To qualify for assistance, applicants must have a monthly gross income at or below the limits described on the website (based on household size). Check here for details: neighborimpact.org/get-help/help-with-bills/home-energy-assistance.
Services are provided on a first-come, first-served basis; interested households are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible. You do not need to wait until your account is past due or disconnected. Currently, Central Electric Cooperative, MidState Electric Cooperative and Wasco Electric Cooperative are resuming disconnections. If you receive a shut-off notification from one of these utilities, please call them to get on a payment plan until your Energy Assistance application has been processed and funds arrive.
