Cascade Natural Gas offers CARES bill assistance to income qualified households. CARES applies a bill discount to reduce the amount due on monthly bills for 24 months. If applicable, CARES also offers a grant to be applied toward any past due amount on an active account. To apply, please complete this form with the assistance of your local community-based organization (CBO), which will process your application to determine if you qualify.
If your household qualifies for the CARES program, you will receive a communication from your local Community Action Agency notifying you how to apply for other assistance programs including Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the CARES arrearage relief grants.
