Utility Emergency Services Fund (UESF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization assisting low-income Philadelphia families with emergency utility assistance since 1983.

In service to the residents of Philadelphia, UESF has provided more than $60,000,000 of assistance to over 133,000 households. UESF is committed to its clients becoming self-sufficient including budget counseling, energy education and energy conservation.

As we help people to meet their utility emergencies, each grant to a low-income family is matched dollar for dollar in the form of a utility bill credit by our utility partners, PECO, the Philadelphia Gas Works and the Philadelphia Water Department.
