FSL Receives $2 Million to Help Phoenix Residents with Utility and Rent Assistance Due to Pandemic

FSL (Foundation for Senior Living) and Wildfire (formerly Arizona Community Action Association) have entered into an agreement to help Phoenix residents who need assistance with their rent or mortgage and utility bills including electric, gas or City of Phoenix water.  These funds were allocated to City of Phoenix under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.  The Phoenix COVID-19 Program is offered through December 30, 2020 in an effort to mitigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re so appreciative of this opportunity to help those in need throughout our community,” said Tom Egan, president and CEO, FSL. “We know Phoenix residents are in need of assistance. If you have been financially impacted by COVID-19 and are struggling to keep up with your monthly payments, please call us to see if you qualify for assistance through this program.”

FSL also has other funds available for Maricopa County residents that need utility assistance and/or appliance repair/replacement. Please call FSL’s Care Design Program at 602-285-0505 ext. 180 or email [email protected] to discuss qualifications and eligibility requirements for these financial assistance programs.  To learn more about FSL’s programs or make a donation, visit www.fsl.org.
