Registration is open for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program’s summer subsidy.
If you live in a Kentucky household and are responsible for your home’s cooling costs, you may be eligible for assistance through the LIHEAP program. The enrollment period runs now through September 12.
According to the Central Kentucky Community Action Council, income eligibility for the program is up to and including 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. At the time of registration, 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, and the account number and the name on the account for the electric bill.
Assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis by contacting your local Community Action office. Hardin County Community Action Coordinator Julie Arney says walk-ins are welcome at the Elizabethtown office.
“We’re located at 233 Ring Road inside our Kentucky Career Center, or you can call us at 502-764-2222,” Arney said. “If you call, you can make an appointment. We do see those first, but you could walk in. Our hours are 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., but we take our last client at 2 o’clock.”
