A total of $10 million is headed toward a new program which will 'support local nonprofit, community-based organizations that provide essential services to vulnerable customers,' a company statement said.
SDG&E will begin collaborating with local nonprofit organizations and seek proposals for the new $10 million initiative that"support programs that uplift vulnerable and lower-income residents, including seniors and those who are food insecure."
"United Way of San Diego County has a long history of working with SDG&E to help underserved populations and addressing inequities in this region," said Nancy L. Sasaki, CEO of United Way of San Diego County."I commend SDG&E for its latest giving initiatives. This type of community investment is critical to uplifting struggling families, helping create a brighter future for all.
The Neighbor-to-Neighbor program, established in January and funded entirely by SDG&E shareholder dollars, is intended to provide eligible customers with up to $300 to offset their outstanding bills. The additional funding announced Monday means that even more customers who need bill assistance can now receive up to $600 per household per year. SDG&E customers may apply if they are experiencing serious illness, temporary unemployment, disability or unusual hardship. Customers are encouraged to call 211 San Diego or 211 Orange County for assistance with the program.
"Every day, 211 San Diego works with thousands of individuals and families to connect them to important and much needed community, health, and social services and programs," said 211 San Diego President and CEO William York."We believe access to these critical services is the foundation for individuals and families to build and sustain healthy lives.
