GET HELP: UTILITIES

AFFORDABLE UTILITIES

Unaffordable utility bills are stressful and pose risks to safe and healthy families. CLS advocates fight for affordable utility bills to help you keep the heat, electricity and water on.

LIHEAP (HEAT ASSISTANCE)

CLS advocates are experts in determining your rights to LIHEAP. We may be able to represent you if you have been wrongfully denied.

UTILITY SHUTOFFS

Loss of utility service in your home is an emergency. CLS advocates can help you determine the fastest and most affordable way to restore heat, electricity or water to your home.

WATER SHERIFF'S SALES

If your home has high water debt, the City may seek permission to sell your home at a public auction. CLS can help low-income customers access programs to save their homes.

WEATHERIZATION AND REPAIRS

The appliances and structure of your home may be driving up the cost of your utilities. CLS advocates can help find services and repairs that can help make your home more efficient.
