Utility Help and Emergency
Financial Assistance
The number one reason people come to NHCO is for utility assistance.
NHCO staff and volunteers help thousands of families receive help
through $1 Energy and Customer Assistance Programs each year. To
qualify for emergency financial assistance, a person must be at
or below 150% of the federal poverty level.
The level for $1 Energy is 200%.
If you have received a shut-off notice or need help applying for
utility help, please contact the NHCO office closest

NHCO also helps in financial crisis situations. We will help pay
rent or a security deposit to prevent eviction or homelessness;
car repairs so that a person does not lose his or her job; prescriptions
for an un- or underinsured person; home repairs, etc.
