Important:

• Before any appointment is scheduled, our Social Services Coordinator 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 email you to schedule an appointment.
• Please be informed, when we marked your application as "pre-qualified", that does not guarantee the approval of your Utility Assistance Application.
• Kindly note, if you arrive late, miss your appointment, or fail to bring all the documents requested, we might need to reschedule or cancel the appointment.

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

We only serve residents of Alachua County.
