Community Services / Energy Assistance


The TCOG Community Services/ Energy Assistance Program provides low-income families with utility payment assistance and the provision of supportive services in an effort to transition out of poverty and off public assistance. For more information call 903-813-3541 or 903-813-3566.

About Our Services

Services include the co-payment of utilities for a specific period of time while learning ways to conserve energy.  Services also include a case management program with the goal of transitioning families off welfare by providing assistance with the cost of expenses such as education, transportation, and childcare.

Each client situation is evaluated through an application process and the appropriate program service is then determined. Individual goals and objectives are identified as well as techniques for budgeting and energy conservation which will transition the client from poverty and/or address crisis situations.
