County Commission notes: Millions added to utility-bill aid
Tennessee is giving Shelby County an additional $3.8 million for grants to help poor people pay utility bills.
The extra money brings total funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance program to $10.9 million in the 2009-2010 fiscal year, said Dottie Jones, director of the county Division of Community Services.
Most people who apply for the program receive grants of $525, she said.
Those who wish to apply for the program can call 362-6518 or 380-3756.
