The City of Rockford’s Human Services Department Energy Division began offering electric utility assistance of $150 to qualified households in Winnebago and Boone counties on July 6, 2009. The Summer Energy Assistance Program will end July 31. This is the final week to apply for assistance.

Required documentation must include proof of income for the past 30 days, Social Security cards for every household member, a current electric bill and a current rent receipt if renting.
