Utility Assistance

resource type: info     uploaded: March 26, 2012

The Salvation Army of Renton is able to provide assistance for Puget Sound Energy, water companies servicing Renton or Skyway Water. At this time we are not able to provide assistance for Seattle City Light or Seattle Utilities. The Salvation Army of Renton is only able to provide assistance towards notices that are Urgent, Final, Past Due, Notice of Disconnect, or disconnected service.

Assistance is available for those who are at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, or suffering temporary financial crisis. The notice and current proof of household income, including noncash benefits such as food stamps and/or housing subsidizing is required at the time of your appointment. At the time of your appointment you must supply all required documents. Faxes will not be accepted, nor does calling into the utility company fulfill this requirement, as it is the paper documentation that is required.

In order to apply for assistance you must have an appointment. Walk-ins are not accepted. In order to schedule an appointment you must call (425) 255-5969 extension 13, for a phone intake screening.
