Ninth District Opportunity is again preparing to assist those who need help with their home cooling bills.
You may be eligible for financial help if you live in a home where everyone is 65 or older or you are medically homebound. Eligibility is based on income.
The program for the elderly and homebound begins April 1. The general public may apply starting May 1.
If you qualify, Ninth District Opportunity will make a one-time payment to your home energy supplier to help offset your utility bills.
You may apply for the program by phone at 855-636-3108 or through the Ninth District Opportunity website on or after the program’s opening date.
Ninth District Opportunity Program Director Brenda Dalin says applications will be accepted until all funds are exhausted.
Age and income verification is required. Visit the www.ndo.org for more details.
Ninth District Opportunity’s service area covers over 20 North Georgia counties, including Banks, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Franklin, Rabun, Stephens, and White.
