Information & Referral

“I am needing resources with my electric bill. I can not pay it and my electricity is going to be cut off. Do you know where I might find some assistance in paying my electricity?”

BCCIL staff will help you learn who to call and what to ask.

“I have a child with disabilities, and I do not even know where to start looking for in-home services for them.”

BCCIL can provide you a list of phone numbers and teach you what to ask so your child can get on every waiting list there is available in the State of Texas.
