DEPARTMENT:  Human Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Traci Baugh

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Lacey Harper 5/17/24

 

PURPOSE: Requesting Council approval for the 2023-2024 PSE Low Income Program Amendment No.1

 

BACKGROUND: The 2023-2024 Puget Sound Energy HELP Low Income Program is funded by Investors. The program funds are designed to reduce the burden of rising home energy costs by providing assistance with a portion of a low-income household’s gas bill.  The agreement is for heating/cooling bill assistance which will serve approximately 3,126 low-income households. 

The original 2023-2024 Puget Sound Energy HELP Low Income Program agreement was in the amount of $775,797 for gas benefits and administration and operating fees for the period October 1st, 2023, through September 30, 2024.  

This Amendment No. 1 will add $519,481 for gas benefits and administrative and operating fees.  

This will bring the total amended agreement amount to $1,295,278 gas benefits administration and operating fees for the period of October 1st, 2023, through September 30, 2024.

   Requesting Council approval as the amendment will exceed the 2023 Grant Work Plan amount.
