WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Wilkes-Barre Mayor George Brown and his Emergency Utility Assistance Program team have just launched a program to help people in the city with their heating bills. 
"The program is going to have a limitation of $100,000. But for individuals, they can receive up to $1,200 in utility assistance," explained Mayor Brown.
That will be in a one-time grant payment that will go directly to their utility company. Through an application process, applicants have to prove that their income has decreased by at least 30% because of the pandemic, whether through income loss or an increase in pandemic-related expenses.
