PGW Hardship Funds Grant

Verified · October 23, 2026 Deadline soon — check dates

PGW lists LIHEAP, Crisis and Hardship Funds Grants together on its assistance page: utility grants offer direct financial assistance to low-income individuals and families who are facing utility terminations, and funds may also provide support to those with broken heating equipment or who have had their utility service terminated. Under PGW’s PUC filing, PGW matches UESF grants for gas customers with a bill credit, and the combined help must eliminate the amount due.
