The Brief Demand for summer assistance programs in Arizona is surging as extreme heat drives utility bills up.
Non-profit organization All Thrive 365 offers utility payment assistance, fresh food access, transportation, and home weatherization services.
High demand has created a massive backlog, forcing All Thrive 365 to temporarily pause accepting new applications.
"We're seeing people who need support for utility assistance, for food, access to fresh healthy foods.
We don't want anyone to miss a meal, and we're also seeing people need help with transportation," Dr. Moore said.
