1 in 4 people in our service area are employed, but still unable to pay all their bills every month. As the cost of living continues to rise and wages stagnate, paying the electric, gas, water, and rent can be overwhelming.

If a person’s hours are cut or they lose their job, this can throw a family’s budget into crisis. Other normal life events like an illness or a large medical or car repair bill is often enough to start a downward financial spiral without intervention.
