Serving Southern Jefferson County in the Great State of Montana
Are you or someone you know struggling to catch up on your home energy bill from last winter? There might be help available. While it has been frustrating at times throughout COVID to work through the process of applying for help, Energy Share and Rocky Mountain Development Council (RMDC) in Helena want you to know there is help available, including one-on-one assistance when needed.
Energy Share helps Montanans who are facing home energy emergencies. RMDC processes Energy Share applications and can help you apply. Common reasons people apply for Energy Share include unexpected expenses, non-working or unsafe heating systems, illnesses or injuries, domestic abuse situations, and loss of employment or reduced wages.
RMDC can also help you fill out applications for a new program that is for renters only. The new Emergency Rental Assistance Program helps with rent, utilities and internet for people who rent and who have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
