Congressman Carson’s Office, Partners Assist Over 219 Hoosiers at Utility Resource Fair

INDIANAPOLIS-Today, the Office of Congressman André Carson - along with community partners, Citizens Energy Group, AES Indiana, and the Indy Energy Assistance Program - served over 219 Indianapolis residents at a utility resource fair. These individuals received one-on-one assistance from utility providers, help applying for federal utility assistance, and connections to local resources. Organizations present included the Center Township Trustee's Office, Edna Martin Christian Center, Indiana 2-1-1, United Way of Central Indiana, and the Salvation Army of Central Indiana.

"Too many Hoosiers are struggling with their utility bills," said Congressman Carson. "Families continue to pay the price of the Trump administration's policies, especially tariffs. But I'm working to connect Indianapolis residents to services they need to take care of their utility bills-from direct financial assistance through the Indy Energy Assistance Program to local community resources."

Prior to today's event, Congressman Carson assisted 635 households struggling with utility bills in 2026. These individuals received financial assistance from community partners, got on installment plans to avoid disconnect, or took other next steps.

Those currently in disconnect are advised to contact their utility provider for payment options. Families are also encouraged to apply for federal energy assistance at IndyEAP.org by April 20.
