A partnership between six utility companies and the Dollar Energy Fund will again provide utility assistance grants for needy residents during the 2012-13 heating season.
Limited income households throughout West Virginia will be able to apply for utility assistance for gas, electric and water bills, according to a news release from the Dollar Energy Fund.
The organization has a network of more than 80 community-based groups.
They will begin taking hardship program applications starting Monday, October 8.
Applications will continue to be accepted until funds are depleted.
A family of four earning up to $34,575 per year in income is eligible for the program.
To qualify, households must have made a sincere effort to pay their bills in the last 90 days and have a back balance.
