Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada have various charities and non-profits that provide help. For example the Clark County Social Service has provided rental help to almost 40,000 people, just in one year! Lutheran Social Services Of Nevada can provide individuals with money for paying rent and utility bills, and funds for other expenses. Even free food to Las Vegas people who need help. Debt reduction agencies also operate out of Clark County

UTILITY BILLS IN LAS VEGAS

To Whom This May Concern:

I have just been told about your service, for which I am grateful.

I moved to Las Vegas the end of November and in short order had
to have emergency surgery, which unfortunately didn't go well.

I came to build a new business, and will be starting to work with at
a doctor's office starting next week.

Unfortunately, all my savings are gone, and I can't pay any of my
current bills. I am behind on my utility bills (NV Energy is sending
out estimated bills and I am being ripped off - I am 1 person, not a
family who previously live in this rented house) - I only use the fans
and I received bill last month for $425.73 and current $489.87?

I desperately need help or I will be turned off by 9/2 - I have been trying
to call NV Energy for 3-days without success, just busy signal.

PLEASE, I am desperate and have no way to go at the moment.

Thank you for your assistance.

There are assistance programs and ways to get help in Las Vegas and Clark County. Programs and agencies are here. Also try a program offered by Nevada Power known as Project REACH (Relief through Energy Assistance to Prevent Customer Hardships). The United Way of Southern Nevada runs the utility assistance program. Or call the Salvation Army Family Services at 649-8240 for info on Project Reach. Another option is the Special Assistance Fund for Energy (SAFE). Ask the Salvation Army about that as well. Or even ask Nevada Power.
