A local agency has additional money to help people with summer utility costs.

In just a month, one area agency has already spent half of its summer utility assistance.

Missouri residents who need help paying overdue utility bills can get help this summer.

NECAC kicked off the utility assistance season Nov. 1, and applications so far are down slightly from this point last year.

NECAC has less than $49,000 left for the summer utility assistance program. NECAC began the season June 1 with about $170,000 of extra funding due to the mild winter.
