$500 To Stop Utility Cut Offs

Many programs help people financially and legally from having their utilities turned off. To find programs you may qualify for in your area you must search: 1) your city or township government, 2) your county government, and 3) local non-profit agencies and local development corporations. Make sure you check with all of the following offices for help in locating appropriate organizations in your area: 1) your local library, 2) your local elected officials, 3) your local United Way, and 4) all housing agencies in your area. Local government offices can be identified at www.govengine.com; your local United Way at http://national.unitedway.org/myuw/; and your local community action agency at http://www.communityactionpartnership.com/ Income requirements vary for agency to agency.
