Henderson County assistance programs

Get help with energy and utility bills

Over $100 million dollars in state and federal government assistance is being provided to Texas. The money is intended  to help low to middle income Texans with paying their home energy bills, provide consumer education, install energy saving improvements in peoples homes, and also provide the case management that is needed to reduce their dependence on future government assistance and programs. So money is available to pay a bill in the short term, and provide counseling, including credit card help, and other resources are available to help people get back on their feet over the long term.

Community Services Inc., the local community action agency that is located at 401 E 6th Ave., Corsicana, TX 75151, phone number (903) 872-2401, is administering the funding to people in need. The money they distribute will help pay energy bills for low-income residents living in Anderson, Collin, Denton, Ellis, Henderson, Hood, Hunt, Kaufman, Navarro, Palo Pinto, Rockwall and also Van Zandt counties.

The funds are being awarded through the Department’s Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program, which is a utility co-payment assistance program that also helps eligible households pay for their utility and energy bills, and to also help them better manage their energy consumption for a safe, affordable environment.
