In Crisis?

Utility Assistance

The Outreach Utility Assistance program provides emergency assistance and service planning to individuals and families who are facing financial hardships.

The program provides support with utility payments for UGI and PPL customers to help reduce utility debt and arrange for more manageable payment options going forward.

Weatherize Your Home and Save

Weatherization is making simple changes in your home to help reduce energy costs and increase comfort, especially as the weather gets colder.

We have partnered with the Community Action Agency of Delaware County (CAADC) to offer free energy education and home modifications to Lancaster County residents. Eligibility extends to those with an income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level.

For more information or to apply for the Weatherization Program, residents can reach out via email at weatherizationintake@caplanc.org or call Keila Davis, Weatherization Intake Specialist, at (717) 468-1785.
