Important:

• Before any appointment is scheduled, our caseworker will spend time analyzing each applicant’s pre-screening form. This can be a time-consuming process, as each client is evaluated on an individual basis.
• If your pre-screening form (available below) is accepted and marked as pre-qualified, we will call or email you to schedule an appointment.
• When we marked your application as "pre-qualified", that does NOT guarantee the approval of your Utility Assistance Application.
• If you arrive late or miss your appointment, we will cancel the appointment.
• If you fail to bring all the documents required, we will cancel the appointment.

We recommend submitting the pre-screening form from a computer not a phone.
