SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY: NOVEMBER 26TH BRONX CHAMBER & SMALL BUSINESSES OPEN NASDAQ |
|
|
Join the Bronx Chamber and our business improvement districts and commercial corridors as we celebrate Small Business Saturday on Saturday, November 26.
This annual celebration of small business was developed with the express purpose of encouraging people to Shop Small and bring more holiday shopping to small businesses. Since 2010 the campaign has grown and in 2022 The Bronx Chamber of Commerce with our business improvement district partners and economic development teams throughout New York City, will launch a digital, print, and in-person campaign to celebrate and bring enhanced support to small businesses throughout the Bronx. From 138th Street in Mott Haven to City Island and Riverdale and every where in between the Bronx Chamber team will not only be marketing our small businesses but increasing our year long in-person support programs to the businesses that keep our economy moving.
We invite members to celebrate with us and tag us on social media using @thenewbxcc, the small business you are patronizing, and use the hashtag #ShopLocal #ShopSmall #BigImpact |

Electric and Gas Utility Bill Credit Program for Low-Income Families
A one-time, low-income utility bill credit is now available to help low-income electric and gas utility customers pay off past utility bills. This credit, which will be applied to affected customers' bills by the utilities, requires no action by existing low-income customers enrolled in the EAP to receive the benefit. The bill credit is expected to be applied to customers' accounts by August 1, 2022. Any eligible low-income customer that enrolls in EAP before December 31, 2022 will be included in the bill credit program. Learn more about the program here.
Temporary Assistance (TA) funding may continue to be utilized to pay utility arrears when the applicant presents with an emergency or immediate need, after first exploring the availability of HEAP. A payment can be made to prevent termination if it is determined that an immediate threat of shut off is present and the applicant/recipient (A/R) is otherwise eligible.
Heating and Cooling Assistance (HEAP) 2022-2023 The regular HEAP season opened on November 1, 2022. More information including 2022-23 benefit amounts and eligibility requirements can be found here.
