UCC’s Energy Assistance Department was established in April of 2020 with the goal of making sure that residents of the City of Newark and Greater Essex County area do not have their utilities shut off.
A team of outreach workers and case managers help clients receive monetary assistance for energy bills via Universal Service Fund Program (USF), the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), the Payment Assistance for
Gas and Electric Program (PAGE) and the Solar Landscape Program. UCC staff will help you decide which program is best for you! LIHEAP/USF services primarily low-income families, while PAGE concentrates on low-to-moderate income families.
The Solar Landscape program allows qualified individuals to receive 10 to 15 percent off of their electricity bills because they are located in areas with solar panels on skyscrapers through New Jersey's Energy program.
The Urban League of Essex County is an organization of talented professionals, caring volunteers, and engaged trustees dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged residents throughout Essex County, New Jersey.
We believe in the American dream – that everyone should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative.
Since our founding in 1917, our mission to help African Americans and disadvantaged residents achieve social and economic self sufficiency has supported that ideal. We offer relevant programs and services in education, employment, housing and economic development that empower communities and change lives.
Through the generous support of our funders, partners, members and volunteers, The League has touched the lives of thousands of individuals and families – putting them on the path to better opportunities, financial stability, home ownership and their own American dream.
