The energy assistance funds are designed to help qualifying households pay their energy bill while providing the consumer education needed to reduce their dependence on future government assistance.
The funds were part of $123.9 million awarded to 51 cities, counties and nonprofit organizations through the department.
The department annually assists more than 68,000 low income Texans through CEAP services, helping low income households meet their immediate energy needs and to encourage consumers to control future energy costs through case management and consumer education. To apply for help with fuel bills, contact Bee County Action Agency at 361-358-5530.
