Critical Commentary
This chart reflects responses to Question #44 from the Winter 2020 survey, which asked respondents, “Have you ever enrolled in an energy assistance program to help with utility bill payment?” The pre-structured options were, “Yes, I have before COVID-19”; “Yes, I have since COVID-19 began”; “No I have not”; “I was unaware of such programs”; “I don’t know”; and “N/A.”
Eighty-two respondents answered this question.
Forty-three respondents (52.4%) reported they had enrolled in an energy assistance program before COVID-19.
Eighteen respondents (22%) reported having enrolled in an energy assistance program since the COVID-19 pandemic started.
Thirty-two respondents (39%) reported they had never signed up for an energy assistance program.
One respondent (1.2%) did not know.
