Fuel assistance applications for Fall River residents are now available through the anti-poverty agency Citizens for Citizens, Inc.
Eligibility is based on annual gross household income, family size, and annual heat consumption. The income guidelines used are established by the federal government.
Clients must document a minimum of four consecutive weeks of income or any number not to exceed the prior “52” weeks. Proof of residence is required for all applicants by submitting a copy of a current heating or electric bill. Social security numbers are required of all household members over 18 years of age.
Proof of housing costs is also required. Renters need to submit a copy of the current lease or rent receipt. Homeowners need to submit a current mortgage statement, real estate tax bill, and homeowners insurance policy with annual premium.
A one on one interview with an intake worker for the initial application of assistance is required.
For more information residents in need of fuel assistance for the upcoming winter months can call Citizens for Citizens at (508) 679-0041.
