SoCal Gas Assistance Programs Outreach

During the 2025-2026 fiscal year, we continued our partnership with SoCalGas to help connect community members with valuable energy assistance resources.

Through 81 outreach events, our Promotoras engaged with 3,680 residents across the county, providing information about a range of SoCalGas assistance programs. These included the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) Program, the Medical Baseline Allowance Program, energy-efficient home upgrade opportunities, and other available support services.

To maximize their impact, our Promotoras strategically selected outreach locations where they could connect directly with individuals and families most likely to benefit from these resources. Outreach activities were conducted in high-traffic areas, through door-to-door engagement, and at community events, ensuring that information was accessible and delivered directly where community members live, work, and gather.
