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\u2019s Office, Edna Martin Christian Center, Indiana 2-1-1, United Way of Central Indiana, and the Salvation Army of Central Indiana.\n\n\u201cToo many Hoosiers are struggling with their utility bills,\u201d said Congressman Carson. \u201cFamilies continue to pay the price of the Trump administration\u2019s policies, especially tariffs. But I\u2019m working to connect Indianapolis residents to services they need to take care of their utility bills\u2014from direct financial assistance through the Indy Energy Assistance Program to local community resources.\u201d\n\nPrior to today\u2019s 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.\n\nThose 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.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-25T06:30:03Z", "2026-06-25T06:31:21Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://carson.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-carsons-office-partners-assist-over-219-hoosiers-utility-resource"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7846778500825167, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
