CORPUS CHRISTI (News Release) – The Texas Utility Help program is accepting applications for energy assistance up to $2,400 for past-due and future electricity, gas, propane, water, and wastewater bills through September 30.

Administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), Texas Utility Help is funded by the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and federal Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP).
