Summer Crisis Program
The Summer Crisis Program generally runs from July 1 through August 31. In 2009, the program was able to provide up $175.00 in electric assistance for qualified households. To qualify households had to:
- Be at or below the 175% of the federal poverty guidelines
- Have a household member who has an illness that would benefit from assistance verified by physician documentation, or with a member who is age sixty (60) of older.
Documentation needed for assistance included:
- Income documentation for the past 13 weeks for the date of your appointment
- Most recent electric bill (unlike the Winter Crisis Program a disconnect notice is not necessary)
- Documentation of a household member age 60 or older or the physician documentation
- Name, address, and telephone number of your landlord if applicable
