Osage Utility Assistance Program

The Osage Utility Assistance Program is a temporary program in FY 2024 and serves enrolled Osage members within the Osage Reservation (Osage County). Various utility vendors throughout Osage County have increased their charges to utility customers during FY 2024. In response, the Osage Nation Congress has appropriated funds to the Financial Assistance Department. The purpose of this temporary program is to provide financial assistance to Osage members, who are responsible for household utilities, while they adjust their monthly budgets to afford the increase.

Assistance is available once, from June 1st through September 30th, 2024 per household. The benefit includes payment for energy charges or heating materials that provide heat or cooling to the residential home. The payment will be issued directly to the utility vendor.

For the purposes of this policy and efforts to avoid duplication of services or benefits, energy assistance from the Department of Human Services (DHS), ECAP, or Osage Nation LIHEAP Program is inclusive and is counted as eligible benefits with the Osage Utility Assistance Program. The Financial Assistance Department will cross-check, confirm, and document any benefits received.

For questions please consult the FAQ’s listed on the Osage Nation website or call 918-287-5325.
