Welcome to the Multi-Purpose Community Action Agency's Utility Assistance Appointment Scheduler

Effective Monday, January 9, 2023 we will be operating our Winter Crisis program.  The program ends March 31, 2023 or when funds run out.   This is a Crisis Program so you must be subject to disconnect or have a late notice.   You may receive help with your electric, natural gas or propane bill.   If you need assistance with your propane bill, you will need a letter from the propane vendor stating that your account is in good standing. 

 All of our Family Service Centers (Bullitt, Shelby and Spencer) are now providing in person services, however it is required that you make an appointment.   We do not want to overcrowd our lobbies.  At the date and time of your appointment, please call the office number that will be posted on the door and the appropriate staff person will let you enter and complete the application process.    Masking is at the discretion of the client.

Here's the list of required documentation to either upload prior to your appointment or bring with you to your appointment.    We will need all required documents to complete your application.   If you do not have the proper documentation, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment.   If you miss your appointment time, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment.
