COVID-19 Temporary Residential Utility Grant Assistance Program

How it works

The City of Valdosta’s Temporary Residential Utility Grant Assistance Program provided one-time utility assistance to eligible city households.

What the money covers

The program paid toward past-due utility accounts for City of Valdosta households.

Amounts and matching

• Up to $350 per address.
• Multiple applicants at the same address shared the same $350 cap.
• Money was paid directly to the utility provider, not to the applicant.
• The FAQ names City of Valdosta Utility, Georgia Power, and Colquitt Electric as providers that could receive payment.

How to apply

Applicants had to submit a utility bill, a state-issued ID, and the relevant utility account number to city staff.

Timing and deadlines

The official page describes the program as a COVID-19-era assistance program. The source does not state that it is currently open, and the page appears to be an archived/legacy FAQ rather than an active enrollment notice.
