Guide to Meeting Basic Utility Needs
in Southeastern Pennsylvania
(Including Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks and Chester Counties)
2010 - 2011

The purpose of this Assistance Guide is to connect residents in southeastern Pennsylvania affected by the increasing cost of utilities with established programs throughout the state that have been designed to ease their financial burdens. The Guide lists information on many programs and agencies.

It begins with a description of the programs and services that are available throughout the state and continues with listings of local contact information and links to associated applications and income eligibility tables where applicable.

Many individuals and families in Pennsylvania are facing very difficult financial hardships due to our sluggish economy. If you are unable to pay your utility bills or are finding it increasingly difficult, reach out for help by exploring public assistance programs and call your utility company to find out about the services and payment options that they offer that might be of assistance to you.

Information on the effect of expiring rate caps on electric generation can be found at www.papowerswitch.com.

If you have questions or comments about the guide, please send them to info@211sepa.org
