The CARE discount has been available to low-income customers since 1989. The Gas Company serves 18 million people. Based on 1990 Census data, about one quarter of The Gas Company’s residential customers (meters) are low income. From 850,000 to 1.1 million customers qualify for some of the low-income programs. About 655,000 customers are participating in the CARE program. Some may not know about CARE. Some may not be able to read about the discount. Some may be afraid or have other reasons they do not wish to apply. The Gas Company hopes that outreach like our center can directly contact people who may qualify to help them overcome these barriers and participate in CARE.
