Energy Assistance Applications available through May 15

Do you need help with the cost of heating your home? The Energy Assistance Program helps individuals and families pay their home heating and electric bills during the winter, and pays for improvements to homes and apartments to make them more energy efficient (weatherization). Energy grants depend on family size, income level and energy costs and change each year. Applicants for energy assistance must provide copies of their utility or heating oil bills, proof of income for all adult family members 18 and older and the social security cards for everyone in the household. Energy assistance applications are taken at the 2008-2009 Energy Locations operated by the Social Development Commission (SDC) and are available until May 15th, 2009.

Visit the SDC SDC Richards Street office at 4041 N. Richards Street between Mon. - Fri., 7:30 am - 4:30 pm (doors open at 7:30) to apply.

Driver's License Recovery

We all know that the lack of a valid driver's license can serve as a significant barrier to many Milwaukee residents looking for employment. To help address this, Riverworks Development Corporation is now helping individuals restore driver's licenses that are suspended or revoked. We are referring Milwaukee residents with these issues to Justice 2000 and its Center for Driver's License Recovery and Employability. Through this program, many individuals are able to recover their driver's licenses, retain and obtain employment, and provide a better quality of life for themselves and their families.

We have referral forms that can be filled out in our offices so that appointments can be arranged with Justice 2000. If you know any Harambee residents who could benefit from having their driver's licenses restored, please have them set up an appointment with Marvele Carter, Benefits Navigator of the Riverworks Center for Family Prosperity. Marvele can be reached at (414) 906-9650 to schedule appointments and answer questions.
