If you are struggling to keep up with your utility bills, Neighbor to Neighbor is accepting applications for utility assistance. To qualify, you must make 80% or less of the Area Median Income (see the AMI table below). If you are behind on utilities, but not rent, you are still eligible to apply.
We will prioritize the following applications:
- Individuals making below 50% AMI (see AMI table below)
- Households with one or more members who have been unemployed for the last 90 days
- If you have a shut off notice, complete the online utility assistance application, then call our Assistance Line at (970)829-0296 and leave a message. You can email the shut off notice to [email protected]
