Contract value

$500,000

The public notice does not disclose a dollar amount. However, similar utility‑assistance programs funded by county TANF allocations typically range from $300 K to $1 M annually, depending on the number of eligible households and the average utility subsidy per household. Assuming roughly 2,000 TANF‑eligible households in Cuyahoga County and an average utility assistance of $250 per household per year, the total annual spend would be about $500,000. Adding a modest budget for counseling services (estimated $50,000) brings the rough total to approximately $550,000. Therefore a reasonable ball‑park estimate for this contract is roughly $500,000–$600,000.
