⚡ Power Up B'ham is here! ⚡

We know summer heat can drive up power bills, and we want to help ease that burden for our community. If you are a low-income resident needing assistance with your electric bill, join us for our special LIHEAP Cooling Season Walk-In Days!

Our team is ready and eager to assist as many families as possible. No appointments are needed for these two days, just walk in!

🗓 When: September 15 & 16, 8:30 am to 3:30 pm

📍 Where: 900 38th St N, Birmingham, AL 35222

📋 What to Bring (Required Checklist)

Please double-check this list before heading over:

✅️ Current Alabama Picture ID: For the head of household (and spouse, if applicable). Please check your expiration date before you come!

✅️ Proof of Gross Income for the PREVIOUS MONTH: Required for ALL persons living in the household. This includes check stubs from employers, Social Security, SSI, pensions, unemployment, VA benefits, child support, TANF, child Social Security/SSI, or any other income source. (Note: Bank statements and NACOLG income will not be accepted).

✅️ Declaration of Household Income Form: Required for all household members ages 18 and older who had no income in the previous month.

✅️ Proof of Custody: Non-parental guardians must provide official documentation from the Court or DHR showing current permanent or temporary custody of children in the household.

⚠️ Important Eligibility Note: This event is strictly for the LIHEAP Cooling Season. If you have already received utility assistance from our agency since May 2026, you are not eligible for this specific event.

We are so excited to serve you, Birmingham! Help us help you by coming prepared with all your paperwork in order so our team can get your application processed as quickly as possible. See you there! 💙
