Keep in mind

Funding is not guaranteed. Power AZ is closed to new applications after September 21, 2026; LIHEAP is separate. Applying does not guarantee payment or stop a shutoff.

How it works

Rent and utility programs have different rules, so the right office depends on your address and the bill you need help with.

How to start
  1. Find the right office

    Phoenix, Mesa, and Glendale have separate city routes.

  2. Name the bill

    LIHEAP is energy-bill help, not rent help.

  3. Ask what is available

    Ask about funding, eligibility, and documents before applying.
