CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – As temperatures drop around the Coastal Bend area, it’s time to prepare for rising heating costs. The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department, Utility Business Office, and the Nueces County Department of Social Services are proud to announce Operation Heat Help.

The annual program was developed to assist the community by covering the natural gas portion of a customer’s utility bill from November 2022 to February 2023 for qualifying applicants up to $100 per household.

Applications and program guidelines are available at the Nueces County Department of Social Services, located at 602 N. Staples Street, Suite 180, in the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority Building.

All applicants must provide a copy of a utility bill, a valid form of identification, proof of all household income, including child support, TANF, and SSI for the past 30 days, and copies of checks and award letters relating to other family resources.

Funds are limited, and awards are given to those who qualify on a first-come, first-served basis.
