Story
A single mother of 2 children who has recently overcome adversity, including homelessness, is in need of help paying her electric bill. The electricity was recently disconnected. To avoid her small child and teen living in unhealthy living conditions with the upcoming heat of summer (no way to cool the home), she will need assistance to get the electricity turned back on. In July, she will be able to receive additional help from LIHEAP to maintain the bill throughout summer. The electricity must be on before LIHEAP can make payment. Per her lease agreement, she must maintain the electricity, or she can face eviction, causing her and her children to face homelessness again.
