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:

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:
