Project REACH

Helping seniors in need with utility assistance

What is Project REACH?

Project REACH helps qualifying seniors pay their past-due utility bills during times of financial hardship. This program provides up to $300 in assistance for essential utilities including electricity, gas, water, and sewer.

Qualifying individuals can apply for assistance once every 12 months. Applications are accepted at participating nonprofit organizations.

Applicant must provide a Nevada ID, proof of income eligibility, and a copy of their past-due utility bill in their name.

In addition to year-round utility assistance, UWSN hosts the Project REACH Senior Expos every August. These in-person Expos allow qualifying individuals to receive in-person utility assistance and other support services.

Help keep Southern Nevada’s older adults safe and comfortable. Donate today to support Project REACH and provide critical relief to our senior community.
