Village of Yellow Springs, Ohio

This program was created to assist Yellow Springs residents who are in threat of disconnection of their utility services. The program is funded entirely from citizen donations. Residents may only apply once per six months. Available funds are disbursed monthly on a first-come, first-served basis. Applicants must meet the program parameters listed below.

• Applicant must be at risk of utility shut-off, which means a bill that says "Delinquent". (An applicant DOES NOT need to wait for a disconnect notice to apply. They may apply AS SOON AS they receive a bill with a past-due amount.)

• The Utility Round-Up Program may be used only once per six months.

• Assistance is available for up to $400.

• If the past due balance exceeds $400 (or amount approved), the remaining past due balance must be paid before scheduled disconnection. Funds will not be disbursed for the Utility Round-Up Program until this is done.

• Accepted applicants must enroll in a payment plan for the remainder of the account balance unless they can provide paperwork from their landlord prohibiting payment plans.

• All applications are due by the 20th day of the month to be eligible for consideration.

For further questions, please contact the Utility Office: 937-767-7202 ext.2

If you have already used Utility Round-Up in the past 6 months and are in need of bill assistance again, please contact Florence Randolph at 937-767-3716 . She can put you in contact with other organizations who may be able to help.
