Lynn offers $1,000 for utility assistance

Lynn residents can apply for up to $1,000 in assistance toward their utility bills during an upcoming application event hosted by the Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development.
The Lynn Temporary Utility Assistance Fund, established with Mayor Jared Nicholson and the city, provides eligible residents with a one-time payment toward electricity, gas, propane, or oil expenses.
An application event will take place Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development office, 10 Church St. The event is open to the public.
Residents must complete their applications in person and bring physical copies of the required documents. Documents include proof of Lynn residency, income verification, and their most recent utility bill or proof of utility termination.
Applicants must live in Lynn and meet the fund’s income requirements, which are set at or below 60% of the area median income. Income limits vary by household size and range anywhere from $72,000 for a one-person household to $119,340 for a six-person household.
Acceptable income verification includes two recent pay stubs, an employer letter, a W-2 form, 2025 tax returns, a MassHealth card, or a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program card.
Applications are expected to take seven to ten days to process after submission.
Residents with questions about the application process can contact the Lynn Housing Authority & Neighborhood Development at 781-581-8600.
