Service Spotlight

Utility Services

The Terrebonne Council On Aging (TCOA) Utility Assistance Program is designed to support low-income seniors and residents with disabilities of Terrebonne Parish who face financial challenges in paying their utility bills. Recognizing that unexpected expenses, such as high utility costs during extreme weather, can strain fixed-income budgets, this program provides critical relief to help maintain essential services like electricity, water and gas.

Impact in Terrebonne Parish

In the past 12 months, TCOA has made a significant impact by providing utility assistance to 434 eligible residents. This support helps low-income households maintain access to vital utility services.

Application Process

Interested individuals can contact the TCOA Outreach department for more information at 985-868-8411 and dial EXT 602. Availability depends on funding, and applications may require specific documentations such as:

  • Social security cards for all household members (paper cards only)
  • Valid Louisiana driver’s license or ID for those 18+
  • Proof of income for all household members
  • Proof of residency (if ID doesn’t reflect current address)

Just a quick thanks for the wonderful collection of goods you delivered to us this past month. Such a thoughtful thing to do! I frequently saw we have the best council of all, and this gift verifies it. Once again, Thanks.

J.T., Houma, LA

Thanks to Council on Aging. I know that this is little but I still want to thank you. The lunches you bring me mean so much. I have so many problems standing in one place to even cook a meal. I also want to thank you for my birthday gift. It was such a wonderful surprise. Thank you. I bless you all for the wonderful job you are doing. God bless you and keep you all safe. I love you all.

P.T. Houma, LA

Just want to thank you for the most thoughtful gift basket for Mrs. I.S. on her 95th birthday. It really cheered her up and made her day extra special. Thanks also for the meals you provide and the courteous driver who delivers them everyday with always a smile and a kind word! It means a lot to those who are homebound. Again, thanks for all that you do.

M.A.C. Shriever, LA

On behalf of the Veterans of this area we wish to thank you for the assistance with hot meals for our homeless Veterans. You do so much for our seniors, but to help veterans too, goes above and beyond the call. Thank you again for your help. God Bless America and supporters like you.
