"Making The Case For Change...Engaging The Community To End Poverty"

Energy assistance is a program that helps income-eligible people who have difficulty paying the
cost of heating their home by providing vendor payments for home heating. Through an intake and
assessment process, Energy Assistance staff determine how its services can best help lower
energy costs. The primary goal of this program is to keep households warm and safe during the
winter months. Income guidelines for the program change yearly and are based on the
state/national poverty level.

All applicants must apply in person. An outreach visit is available for the homebound elderly and/or
physically disabled.
