Customer Assistance Programs

The City of Sacramento offers programs to help customers who are facing financial difficulties.

 

These are the requirements for each program.

● Financial Support Plus 1 — The Plus 1 fund provides emergency financial help if you are having temporary difficulty paying utility bills. Customers may also contribute to this fund via their monthly utility bills.

 

● Payment Arrangement — A payment arrangement allows you to pay off a past due bill balance over time to keep your utility account in good standing.

 

● Services for the Medically Vulnerable — If someone in your household has a long-term disease or critical illness, you may be eligible for the City’s registry of medically vulnerable customers and receive special support services.

 

● Weatherization Assistance — In addition to these City of Sacramento programs, Sacramento Energy offers no-cost home energy improvements to qualifying customers with low-to-moderate incomes. The improvements reduce energy costs, address health and safety issues, and enhance comfort.
