Metro Action needs to be investigated.

ALL THEY DO IS LIE! I have submitted my application in August of 2021 and the apartment I was living in has still not been paid and it has now hit my credit. So many people have left and none of the original people who were handling my case are still there. Now they are telling me they won’t pay my balance because I’m not currently living there even though a representative was at my eviction court hearing telling the judge that this program was covering the remaining balance. ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS IS A SCAM

Long wait times If you don’t get there by 8 AM

Obviously they need to train the woman that answers the phone a little better on what we need to bring in or what is required before we spend money on a bus to get there and back. Also the woman that interviewed me is an African-American that is racist against white people, she said to me as I sat down “all Caucasians look alike“. It’s a sad day in public assistance even for a veteran like myself.

They will pay up to a certain amount depending on your household size, income and situation. It's definitely worth the try. They're also doing something called the hope program right now.

The Summer Cooling program is accepting applications for air conditioners.

Can I apply for assistance for my electricity bill online?

Kim Maupin | Oct 25, 2018
J Walker | Oct 25, 2018

Hi Kim! Unfortunately, no you can't apply for energy bill assistance online. It has to be done in-person at their office Monday - Thursday, BEFORE 3pm (since the staff who help you with your application for that leave at 3pm, even tho the office is open until 430pm, and those same people are NOT available on Fridays either). Make sure you call your energy provider (in my case it was NES) beforehand and ask them to email you a copy of your 12month residential usage/manual bill! You'll need this for your application for assistance and the only way you can get it is by calling & asking for it.

Our church received a request to help an older couple with their rent. They are staying in an extended stay motel. The couple advised they were told that Metro Action Commision does not help with rent if you are staying in a hotel or motel. True?

Jennifer Lanham | Oct 24, 2021
Hope A Hayden | Oct 24, 2021

That isn't true, go and do the application..and it sounds as if they have had a lost..by staying within a long stay hotel..They even help with housing etc..So tell them don't give up..they will help..if no help ask for Willie Brown of Metro Social Services..that might even go well.. Good Luck..

The landlord can file an eviction in the courts. However, there is currently a moratorium until March 31st. The tenant should contact Judge Bells Legacy Court for assistance.
