Monroe County Opportunity Program (MCOP)

Who it's for

Monroe County Opportunity Program (MCOP), the Community Action Agency for Monroe County, helps low-income households with electric, natural gas, and deliverable-fuel bills and shutoff protection. Help is generally tied to a State Emergency Relief approval. Apply for state energy help through MI Bridges, dial 211 for local referrals, or call MCOP at 734-241-2775.

Energy assistance is income-based and subject to available funds, and often requires a State Emergency Relief approval first. State help (LIHEAP/State Emergency Relief) is applied for through MI Bridges. The agency makes the final determination. Not legal or financial advice.
