Grants are dispersed on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible families with a gross household income that is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. This means that a family of four making $64,300 would qualify.
Households can receive two separate annual grants--up to $450 each--for both water and sewer conveyance charges.

Pittsburghers support each other, especially in times of need. Our Hardship Grant Program is funded in part by our neighbors, friends, and community members who choose to give what they can. By contributing to the Hardship Grant Program, your tax-deductible donation is distributed in the form of financial aid to income-eligible households.
The Hardship Grant Program, like our other Customer Assistance Programs, is administered by Dollar Energy Fund. If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation to the grant program, you can learn more on our Neighbors Helping Neighbors page.
