October is Energy Awareness Month! 💡

For families struggling with high energy costs, a little extra breathing room can make a big difference. Brightpoint’s Weatherization, Utility Assistance, and Emergency Repair and Replace programs help lower energy costs so families can better afford other necessities like food, medicine, and safe, reliable housing.

Throughout October, we’ll highlight these programs, the difference they make, and how to access services.



P.S. Utility Assistance (a.k.a. Energy Assistance Program or EAP) is now open for the season. Weatherization services are available year-round.

Image description: A yellow taped note reads, “1 in 3 households report forgoing necessities such as food or medicine to pay an energy bill.” The Brightpoint logo and website appear in the bottom right corner.
