Connecticut Utility Assistance Program
There are a few local agencies tasked with managing and administering the Connecticut Utility Assistance Program. You can also apply for the Connecticut Weatherization Assistance Program.
Person-to-Person (P2P)
Who they are
Person2Person is an organization dedicated to ending hunger and providing financial and academic resources for the less fortunate. P2P is committed to not only providing urgent utility assistance but also working with clients and the community to create more egalitarian possibilities for all, regardless of race, socioeconomic level, or immigrant status.
Their work is accomplished through a combination of a small full-time staff, a wide network of volunteers, community partners, in-kind food and household item donations, and monetary donations. The goal is to promote academic, financial, and hunger-free households for all. P2P serves residents in lower Fairfield County (Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk, Stamford, Weston, Westport, and Wilton).
