The Jackson United Way wanted to convert the Ethnos 360 Bible Institute into a place to house the homeless, but officials are now going back to the drawing board after they could not come up with $7.5 million to purchase the former missionary school at 1210 E. Michigan Ave.
Need Help with Past-Due Energy Bills?
Even though we’ve had pretty good weather for a Michigan winter so far, the pandemic has made it a very difficult winter for many, especially those who have lost income but still have to heat the house. A multi-million-dollar commitment by Consumers Energy to help customers struggling to pay their utility bills will strengthen the slate of assistance programs available to energy users across Michigan.
United Way of Jackson County (UWJC) operates a Program Assistance Center, connecting customers in need regardless of where they reside in Michigan. They work with Consumers Energy, DTE, SEMCO, and other utility providers as part of the statewide Michigan Energy Assistance Program (MEAP).
