the program, he says
White says the program will operate on a $1,6
million budget provided by the Department of Health
and Human Service* for 1686. I .one County receives
10 percent of Oregon’s total budget of $24 million,
which is down $2 million from last year, he says
While the budget has decreased, the demand for
help has not. Although about 8,750 households
received assistance last year, more and more people
are requesting aid. White says :t3 percent of last year's
clients were new applicants, and he expects the same
situation this year.

able to receive assistance from several alternative pro
grams. The Cos Assistance Program (GAP), which
operates through Northwest Natural Cas provides aid
for gas heating crises with u $10.000 budge! a lima led

Two programs operating through the Salvation
Army, one in Eugene and one in Springfield, consider
other expenses, such as medical bills and family
emergencies, when screening applicants

sors Project Helping Hand, which is funded through
donations from ralepayer*. Households can receive up
to $125 in aid. says Debbie Childs. EPUD credit
representative. Childs says the project will operate on
a $2,000 budget this year.
A similar program sponsored by the Springfield
1 Utility Board (SUB) provides up to $125 in assistance
but applicants must have received a shut-off notice
from their utility company in order to qualify for aid.
