HPRP assistance may be provided to pay for utility arrearages.
The HPRP assistance for utility arrearages shall not exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) for an individual or three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500) for a family. The HPRP program shall make the determination regarding the appropriate amount of the HPRP benefit in accordance with subsection 7605.2 and other provisions of this chapter. The maximum amounts provided in this section do not entitle an eligible household to the maximum allowed benefit, nor require the Provider to provide the maximum amount in HPRP assistance.
HPRP assistance may be provided to pay a utility deposit to ensure that an eligible household receives utility services. Provision of a utility deposit as an HPRP benefit will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the HPRP Provider, taking into consideration the unique circumstances of the eligible household that makes a utility deposit necessary.
