CHARLOTTE, N.C. — CharlotteEAST and the United Way of Greater Charlotte have partnered with other community leaders to create the east Charlotte utility assistance program.
The program is exclusive to residents who live in the 28215, 28205 and 28212 zip codes.
Compared to other utility assistance programs in the area, this program is advertised as having fewer barriers for eligibility.
Households eligible for assistance are at-or-below 60% of the county area median income, which is based on the number of members in the household. Eligible households can receive up to $500 in assistance to pay past-due gas, electric or water bills.
See the chart here to determine if your household is eligible to apply.
Households that qualify for the east Charlotte utility assistance program can apply here. The application site provides an English or Spanish language option.
