Utility bill assistance to catch up with amount owed to avoid shut-offs.
Help with getting utilities turned back on after shut-off.
Weatherization Assistance which is an energy survey of your home to find where fixes can be made to save money long term.

We also provide access to housing assistance, food assistance through the Howard County Food Bank, and Early Childhood Education through Head Start and Prekindergarten programming.
