Utility Help and Emergency Financial Assistance

NHCO staff and volunteers help low-income families receive help through $1 Energy and Duquesne Light and Columbia Gas 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 to you:

  • Allison Park - Service Coordinator Natalie Klaum - 412-487-6316 (option 1)
  • North Boroughs - Service Coordinator Aileen Birch - 412-307-0069
  • Millvale - Utility Specialist Josh Wertheim - 412-487-6316 (option 2)

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.

If you are experiencing a financial crisis and qualify under our income guidelines (150% of poverty), contact the NHCO office closest to you:
