Pima County has taken over a program that helps those in financial hardship pay to keep the lights and air conditioning on, as well as the water running.
The county's Community Services, Employment and Training Department fields requests from low-income residents. The program is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, and administered by Pima County via an Arizona Department of Economic Security contract.
Applicants must call one of these agencies to set up an appointment. The following information is taken from a county press release:
