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)
