(UNDATED) - Warmer weather has finally arrived, but families may be behind on utility bills from the cold weather months, or may be looking to challenges in paying bills to keep their house cool this summer.
Qualified families who need assistance with their heating or cooling bills can seek assistance through The Arc of Indiana's Utility Support Program.
The Arc's Utility Support Program can assist families with a dependent child, one or more family members with a disability, and income at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. The program can provide up to two months heating or cooling utility bill assistance, funding to prevent disconnection or reactivate services, funding to cover utility debt back to one year from date of application, and deposit assistance to begin services.
Families can receive additional information or apply for the Utility Support Program by calling 800-573-9816 or emailing gdewilde@arcind.org.
