With the temperatures outside beginning to rise, those utility bills from the winter are not coming down. If you need assistance with your utility bills, DTE Energy and THAW (The Heat and Warmth Fund) may be able to help.
They will partner to host a Customer Assistance Day on Friday April 13 at the Samaritan Center at 5555 Conner Avenue from 9-4 p.m. The event will be supported by 2nd District State Rep. Bettie Cook Scott.
DTE Energy and THAW will help those who qualify with affordable monthly payment programs based on your income. To apply for the program, applicants must provide the following documents:
• You must be a DTE Energy account holder.
• Account holder must provide valid copies of your I.D. and Social Security Card and be 18 years or older.
