If you are having problems paying your DTE bill – call DTE at 800-477-4747 as soon as possible or reach out via website at www.dteenergy.com/help . Attached below is the latest payment assistance brochure which breaks out the programs and agencies here to help connect residents with much needed relief. More than $160 million in energy assistance relief is available.

In addition to energy assistance, The Michigan Homeowner Assistance Fund (MIHAF) uses federal resources allocated under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to provide financial assistance to homeowners who have fallen behind on homeownership-related expenses. The MIHAF program can help with delinquent mortgage, property tax and/or condominium payments, payment of escrow shortages, and past due utilities payments, including gas, water, electric, and internet or broadband. Interested homeowners can find details and a link to the application portal at Michigan.gov/MIHAF. or receive assistance by calling 844-756-4423.
