Program Overview
Plus-1 was created in 1982 and
is a partnership between MIFA and MLGW that provides one time utility assistance for
individuals and families in financial crisis, such as job loss or medical emergency. MLGW collects Plus-1 funds, and
MIFA screens clients for eligibility and priority. MLGW customers fund the program
through one time donations or by adding a dollar or more to their utility bills each month.
