Emergency Financial Assistance

Please read through the information below about our Emergency Financial Assistance Programs. As funding is available, we are able to help once every 365 days with either a past due rent or utility bill.

How Often can I get help with paying my rent or a utility bill? Once every 365 days provided your household qualifies. Puget Sound Energy Warm Home Fund 2024 eligibility allows families to receive help multiple times during this calendar year, if they meet guidelines listed below.
