Need help with your energy bills, Baltimore?

Low-income Marylanders having trouble paying utility bills, or who anticipate having trouble in the near future, should check out an Energy Assistance Expo this weekend in Baltimore to apply for aid.

Come to the Mini Conference Center on Baltimore City Community College's campus at 2901 Liberty Heights Avenue from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7 for more information about eligibility and to enroll in the program. You'll also get tips on conserving energy to keep your bills lower in the first place.

The income guidelines have changed, so here they are:

Maximum Monthly Gross Income per number of people in household

1: $1,579.37
2: $2,124.79
3: $2,670.20
4: $3,215.62
5: $3,761.04
6: $4,306.45

For every additional person, add $545.42.

Here's the documentation you need to apply:

* Government-issued photo identification

* Proof of total gross income for the last 30 days for all household members

* Proof of residence (lease, rent book, mortgage statement, etc.)

* Copies of Social Security cards for all household members including children

* Copy of most recent utility bill

* Name of home energy supplier and account number

Don't live in Baltimore, or can't make it on Saturday? Check out the Maryland Office of Home Energy Programs for more information about applying near you.
