Do you need energy assistance?

You may be eligible for help. Click here to learn more about state-wide utilities assistance.

Are any of these true for you?

I’m about to lose my house or apartment because I’m being evicted, my family has asked me to leave, or for any other reason, and I don’t know where else to go.

I’m living on the streets, or in my car, or an abandoned building, or any place not meant for people to live.

I’m fleeing domestic violence, which includes but isn’t limited to sexual violence, family violence, stalking, and human trafficking.
