- Central: Updated the default copy for Legal Services (“Free or low‑cost help with civil legal needs or identity documents”) across all white labels.
- Central: Admin multi‑select boxes (e.g., White labels and permissions) are now expandable & scrollable in Django Admin, making long lists easier to work with.
- Central: The “Immediate Needs” heading is now labeled “Additional Resources” throughout the app for clearer understanding (this was missed in the confirmation step in the last release).
- Central: Fixed a bug where the ZIP‑code error message failed to appear when the field was left blank or set to an invalid value.
- Central: Dependency upgrades for security & stability
- CO: Provide Adams County Health Department referral link
- CESN: Added the Medical Certification Program (MCP) to the Energy Calculator. Households that rely on essential medical equipment and get electricity from Xcel can now see this program in their results.
- CESN: New database fields electric_provider_name and gas_provider_name store the human‑readable utility names sent from the front‑end.
- CESN: Corrected gas‑utility codes (e.g., co-xcel-energy-gas, co‑black‑hills‑energy-gas) in multiple energy‑assistance calculators to ensure eligibility checks run on the right provider.
- CESN: The Energy Calculator now fetches live utility lists from the API (via Rewiring America) instead of shipping thousands of hard‑coded names. Provider names entered by the user are passed through to the API and shown on the confirmation page.
- CESN: If a user indicates past‑due energy bills, rebate offers are moved below urgent‑assistance programs so the most time‑sensitive help appears first.
- CESN: Tweaked the heating provider text to include gas and electric.
