UTILITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Past Programs

Utility Assistance Program

SDC-CDS offered residential households utility assistance. This program was available to Skagway residents who are making at or below the HUD guidelines for low-income. The support available to households each month depended upon the amount of funds SDC was able to raise or procure for the program.

Second-time program users needed to show proof of having applied for the State of Alaska's Heating Assistance Program. Find the Heating Assistance Application HERE

Funds were not paid directly to applicants. A credit was placed on the applicants' account/s with the utility provider/s.
