Community Action

Applications & Wait Lists

OPEN: Assistance for households throughout Kent County with metered water and wastewater utilities is now OPEN.

CLOSED: KCCA is no longer assisting with gas, deliverable fuels, or electric. The lists for rental / mortgage arrears and weatherization assistance are currently closed.

The first step to apply, call 616-632-7950 and follow the prompts to leave a voicemail on our assistance line. Please speak clearly, include your full name, address, and phone number in the message.

Please do not leave more than one message. This will only slow down the process.
