Right now, many families are struggling to make choices between rent, groceries, and utility bills.  Crisis Assistance Ministry can help.  Special funding is currently available to prevent a disconnection of electricity or gas utilities for low income Mecklenburg County families.

“With high energy bills arriving right now, we don’t want qualifying families to miss the opportunity for a little help in the midst of a potential financial crisis,” said Liana Humphrey, spokesperson for the nonprofit agency.

How to get help

To apply for emergency financial assistance, individuals must:

  • Live in Mecklenburg County 
  • Have a pending disconnection notice for electricity or gas or are already disconnected
  • Appear in person with needed documentation

For detailed instructions on how to seek assistance, families in need of help should visit https://crisisassistance.org/gethelp.

“No one should be camping in their own homes without power and water,” says Humphrey. “Or worse, facing the threat of homelessness due to eviction. Help is available.”
