Access & Functional Needs Program

You may qualify for additional resources to help support you and your family

Bear Valley Electric Service, Inc. (BVES) understands that power outages can be especially challenging for customers who rely on medical devices, assistive technologies or other essential services for their health, safety and independence.

Through our Access and Functional Needs (AFN) Program, we work to identify customers who may need additional assistance during emergencies. If you or someone in your household may need additional support, we encourage you to complete our AFN Online Application to help us better understand your needs.

BVES is committed to helping customers stay safe and informed during emergencies. However, these resources are limited and intended to provide temporary assistance during emergencies rather than meet customers’ long-term needs.
