Milwaukee County residents can apply for assistance in person at Community Advocates or United Migrant Opportunity Services (UMOS). Visit energyassistancemke.org or call 414-270-4653 for more information.
More families may qualify for aid this year due to changes in income eligibility. For example, an individual who earns $25,600/year or less may qualify and families of four that earn up to $49,200/year may also qualify.
