City of Doral Named PSC Helping Hand

“The PSC is targeting Florida’s small communities to promote Lifeline, and the City of Doral helped us accomplish this in their outlying communities,” PSC Chairman Gary Clark said. “It’s important for eligible customers in these small communities to know that they will still receive a $5.25 monthly discount for voice-only Lifeline service.”

Each quarter, the PSC highlights a partner agency or organization whose clients are eligible for the federal Lifeline Assistance telephone/broadband discount program or need help reducing energy and water bills. Through these PSC Helping Hand partnerships, the Commission shares information to help consumers avoid scams and stretch their resources to meet monthly bills.

“We’ve had to be extra creative in keeping contact with the members of the community we serve, while we were still under some pandemic restrictions,” said Jeorge Vega, Superintendent of Recreation.  “It’s very important to keep residents connected to the community and all the available services to them, and we appreciate the PSC helping us provide its much-needed information.  Our residents definitely benefited, and we really appreciate the partnership.” 

The PSC regularly distributes materials to reach those who can benefit from information on hurricane preparedness, scam protections, and energy and water conservation. Look for this year’s PSC Helping Hand outreach partner recognitions on the PSC’s homepage, www.floridapsc.com , under Hot Topics.
