Utility Bill Assistance
- We are partnering with Community Action of Washington County for the LIHWA (Low Income Household Water Assistance Program). For more information on the LIHWA Program, visit this website. You can apply for assistance through Community Action of Washington County.
- The city partners with St. Vincent de Paul to provide financial assistance under certain circumstances. Customers who demonstrate a financial need may receive assistance with the water portion of their bill (up to three times a year) provided they can pay the other portions of the utility bill. That includes charges for sewer, stormwater, and street maintenance fees that may be billed on the same bill.
Eligibility is determined by St. Vincent de Paul using the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development income criteria for utility assistance. For more information, contact the local St. Vincent de Paul office at 503-684-8280. The agency uses an automated answering system, but promises to return calls within one business day.
Funding for the Tigard AID Program has been exhausted and the City of Tigard is no longer accepting AID applications.
