A suggested script — adapt it to your situation:
Hi, I need help paying my utility bills and was hoping you could help.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the Emergency Utility and Rent Assistance program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Low-income; MDHHS eligibility required for referral, Washtenaw County?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Call for current availability. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see call; must have MDHHS SER referral and shutoff notice.
Thank you so much for your help.
Always introduce yourself and ask to speak with someone who can help with your specific need.
