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 the Human Resource Council (HRC) in Missoula 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. The HRC 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.
The HRC 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.
Regardless of your need, contact the HRC at 406-728-3710, or visit their website at www.humanresourcecouncil.org. The HRC’s office is located at 1801 South Higgins in Missoula. Some in-person assistance is available in the front lobby and they are open to the public during regular business hours Monday – Friday. The HRC handles Energy Share applications for Mineral, Missoula and Ravalli Counties.
Energy Share relies on donations. One hundred percent of private donations are used to help someone in need. If you would like to be involved this way, please visit https://www.energysharemt.com/donate-now or mail a check to Energy Share, 3117 Cooney Drive Suite 102, Helena, MT 59602.
