Dear Student Legal Clinic,
I am a full-time student and work part-time. I don’t have time to stand in line to get Energy Assistance. How can I do this faster?
Signed Chrystal
Dear Chrystal,
The Energy Assistance Program is now scheduling appointments on Saturdays for clients who are employed full-time or who are full-time students. You can now schedule your appointment online by going to www.cr-sdc.org and click on the links page.
Or you may schedule an appointment by calling the hotline, 906-2800.
You can apply for Energy Assistance at the following locations: 4041 N. Richards Street, 6848 N. Teutonia Avenue, or 2701 S. Chase Avenue, Suite D. At the time of the appointment, applicants must bring proof of all income sources for your entire household’s gross income for the 3 months prior to the month of application. This includes child support, wages, and pensions.
Social Security cards for everyone in the household are also required as well as a current energy bill.
If your heat is included in the rent, you must provide a rent certificate from the landlord confirming that your heat is included.
For more information and referrals, visit the Student Legal Clinic in Room M326, email [email protected] or call 297-6630.
