Weatherization assistance is available to low-income households in all 67 Alabama counties. Customers wanting to request energy assistance through Project SHARE may apply at their local Salvation Army office or by calling 20. To apply for financial assistance with utility bills, contact the Community Action Agency or social services agency serving your county. “That’s why we established the Alabama Business Charitable Trust more than 25 years ago, working with partners to assist with the energy needs of low-income Alabamians.” “As a company and a good corporate citizen, Alabama Power understands the challenges that many Alabama families with limited resources face every day,” Smith said. Tequila Smith, president of the foundation and Alabama Power’s vice president of Charitable Giving, said the funding often supports low-income families in Alabama who typically wouldn’t qualify for federal energy assistance. The trust works with community action agencies to help cover the cost of heating and cooling for low-income families and those struggling with temporary financial problems.įunding and resources supporting these programs come from a variety of sources, including Alabama Power and its independent charitable organization, the Alabama Power Foundation. * The Alabama Business Charitable Trust Fund (ABC Trust), a nonprofit organization created by Alabama Power stockholders in 1992 to supplement energy-assistance efforts. Administered by the Salvation Army of Greater Birmingham, Project SHARE is a partnership involving Alabama Power and electric cooperatives across the state. * Project SHARE (Service to Help Alabamians with Relief on Energy), a program established in 1982 to provide assistance to low-income elderly and disabled people needing help with their heating and cooling bills.
In Alabama, LIHEAP is administered by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). The program is funded by Congress to assist families near or below the poverty level. * Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a federal effort to help millions of vulnerable Americans pay energy bills. If you live in Alabama and are low-income, age 60 or older and/or disabled, programs are available to help pay utilities and improve the energy efficiency of your home.
