PHOENIX – As Arizonans begin to confront the hotter summer days and higher temperatures still ahead in 2021, Arizona Public Service Co. (APS) has partnered with local organizations to provide various heat-relief assistance for the state’s most vulnerable populations.

APS partnerships with the Foundation for Senior Living, St. Vincent de Paul, The Salvation Army and Solari, Inc., in conjunction with Lyft, will offer assistance with air-conditioning repairs and replacements, emergency shelters, eviction protection, hydration stations and transportation services.

“With the safety of our customers and fellow Arizonans in mind, and in recognition that it takes a broad network of innovative solutions and trusted partners to address the health risks posed by our state’s summer heat, APS is committed to making a difference through thoughtful, collaborative community partnerships,” said Tina Marie Tentori, director of Community Affairs for APS.
