Utility Assistance Program

Utility Assistance Program
As we prepare for winter, SDC-CDS is once again offering residential households utility assistance. This program will be available to Skagway residents who are making at or below the HUD guidelines for low-income. The support available to households each month will depend upon the amount of funds SDC is able to raise or procure for the program. Applications can be picked up in person at the SDC office on 21st & State or printed out from the button below.

SDC-CDS Utility Assistance Program is currently OPEN.

  • Funds will not be paid directly to applicants. A credit will be placed on the applicants' account/s with the utility provider/s. If you are eligible for the program but pay your bills before funds have been dispersed, funds will still be credited to your account. 

If you are an Alaska Native or American Indian, please consider applying for the Skagway Traditional Council's Direct Assistance program to most efficiently use limited local resources.
