Assistance available to pay utility bills
El Dorado County Health and Human Services Agency has money through the federally-funded Home Energy Assistance Program to help income-eligible families pay their energy bills.
HEAP can help with electricity, wood, propane, pellets or heating oil. Renters whose utilities are not separate may qualify for help.
HEAP applications are available in South Lake Tahoe at 3368 Lake Tahoe Blvd., No. 202 or call (530) 573.3490, and in Placerville at 937 Spring St., (530) 621.6150.
Add HEAP to the Section 8, SNAP, WIC, Welfare, Unemployment, SDI, SSDI, ‘free’ cellphones, why the heck am I workin’ for a living????
Oh yeah. So I can afford my mani/pedi. . .
The ‘free cell phones’ thing has been debunked, at least in the context you put it in.
Also, poverty is a cycle, blah blah, you’re uninformed.
There are no free cell phones? Really? Who’s uninformed? Please, your knee jerk reactions to everything I say are ridiculous. Free cell phones have been around for a LONG time. It used to be just land lines, and that’s how it should have stayed.
Your assertion that ‘poverty is a cycle’ is probably true. That cycle would be more readily broken if the government didn’t make ‘poverty’ in America quite so comfortable.
Have you ever thought about the ones that are disabled that really need the help? quit complaining ,do you want more people on the streets begging ? My God there are people who really need the help today, Picking up cans do not help, Think twice before you judge ,
I come off as hostile? I wasn’t attacking you personally. I was attacking the system. Did you read your own letter before posting?
I left the place I grew up because it was too expensive to live there, even though it was a heavenly place to live. If the weather and the expense doesn’t work for you, you should really consider moving to someplace with a better climate and lower costs of living. That’s what people have always done. Priorities.
There’s nothing in the contract that guarantees that you should be able to live in a resort area comfortably at the expense of other people. Sorry.
