Texas Utility Help

The Texas Utility Help program is now open for low-income families to apply to. This program can help pay for electricity, propane, gas, water, and wastewater bills that are overdue for a one-time lump sum of up to $2,400, depending on household income. Even if families don't owe anything on any of these utilities, if approved, they can still use whatever aid they qualify for towards future payments!
