45 Window Air –Conditioning Units Available for Low-Income
Seniors
Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division and Neighborhood Christian
Center are teaming up once again to “Play It Cool.” The annual initiative
provides window air-conditioning units to qualified low-income seniors and
disabled residents of Shelby County. There are
currently 45 donated units remaining.
Neighborhood Christian Center will host a screening and application
process for the free units at 785
Jackson Avenue July 26, 2017, from 9 a.m. until all units are committed.
To qualify, an applicant must be a resident of Shelby County, a low income senior 60 years of age or older, cannot have previously received an air conditioner from the Play It Cool Program, and must be living in a home without operable air conditioning. The “Play It Cool” applicant must be the MLGW customer of record at the address where the unit is being requested.
Once an individual is screened and
pre-qualifies, a pre-qualification voucher will be issued to verify that the
applicant has met the guidelines up to the field inspection. A
pre-qualification voucher does not guarantee receiving an air conditioner. Field
inspections will be conducted by MLGW to verify that the residence meets
installation requirements.
To apply, applicants will need the
following credentials on hand:
- Tennessee State ID or Drivers License to verify
age and address.
- The most recent pay stub or Social Security Income statement to
verify income.
- Most recent MLGW utility bill
- If you have a physical disability but do not meet the age
requirement you must bring the proper certification information.
Air conditioners will not be installed at
addresses with bars or storm windows and installation
will be performed by MLGW employees.
Applicants for the “Play It Cool” Program
may also contact the Neighborhood Christian Center’s hotline number at (901) 881-6013
for a pre-recorded message detailing the necessary qualifications and
credentials for eligibility.
