When you are dealing with a major physical or mental health crisis, you may have difficulties paying your utility bills. The loss of your utilities can worsen your health condition and spiral into other unforeseen outcomes that could jeopardize everyone in the household’s stability. The Program is designed to stop disconnection or restore services for households with people who have critical medical or behavioral health needs.
