Featured Partner Organization of the Quarter

Each quarter, FPL is proud to feature a partner agency, telling their story and detailing their services. 

The Broward County Community Action Agency (CAA), this quarter’s featured partner, CAA partners with many social service agencies in the community, as well as FPL, to help those in need. 

Their Self-Sufficiency Case Management Program, funded by federal dollars, is designed to help families with multi-dimensional problems help themselves to be independent of public assistance.  The staff works intensely with each family to overcome barriers by providing counseling, advocacy, and reinforcing self-esteem.

Utility Assistance
CAA also provides Utility Bill Assistance to Broward citizens who are unable to pay their utility bills.  One program offered by this agency is the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). 

The low income family qualifies for this program in Broward if a household member is either:

• 60 years of age or older, or
• Disabled, or
• Four years of age or younger.

Also, to be eligible, the family’s income cannot exceed 150% of the federal poverty level. 

In addition to LIHEAP, CAA also administers the FPL Care to Share Program ®.  This program is funded by donations from customers, employee and corporate donations from FPL. To be eligible for FPL Care to Share, the customer must have a current crisis (an event that was not anticipated) and must be able to prove sustainability for future bills.
