Two things - there is a program to help low-income families get a/c after those deaths a couple summers ago. I'll have to look up the details but I'm pretty sure it's run by PARC. Try contacting your worker to see if you can get the money under discretionary benefits. Good luck. --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : Hi there, : : The only reason you would have to pay that : $250 is if you agreed to pay it either in : your lease or with a separate written and : signed (by both you and the landlord) : agreement.
