Eligible households are encouraged to apply for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program Winter Crisis Component.
“The LIHEAP Winter Crisis Program is specifically designed to assist Kentucky households facing home heating emergencies such as imminent loss of heat, low fuel supply, or the threat of eviction due to unpaid heating costs,” said Central Kentucky Community Action Council Executive Director Bryan Conover. “We want our community to know that these resources are here to help them before the extreme cold arrives. If you are struggling with your heating costs or worried about your fuel supply, or know someone who is, please do not hesitate to reach out to your local Community Action office to learn if you are eligible for LIHEAP support.”
Applications for LIHEAP are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Benefits are paid directly to the household’s heating vendor. Receiving assistance through other LIHEAP cycles does not affect eligibility.
When applying, all applicants must provide all required documentation which includes proof of Social Security number or a permanent residence card for each household member, proof of income for all household members from the preceding month, your most current electric bill, the account number and the name on the account for the electric bill, and a disconnect/past due notice or a statement showing 10 or fewer days of pre-paid electricity remaining.
Visit your local Community Action office to begin an application. Call 270-692-2136 or visit www.ckcac.org to find your nearest office.
