*At this time, all appointments for Cooling Assistance will take place May 1^st or later.

Other services, such as rental assistance, utility assistance, or other needs, please send an email or leave a voicemail message (including your County of residence) and someone will get back to you. 

We are responding to inquires in the order received and are handling an increase in the number requests.  We appreciate your patience.  Calls and emails are returned with 3-4 days during this COVID-19 crisis.

LIHEAP UPCOMING ASSISTANCE:

Our summer COOLING service (electric assistance only) is taking appointments for households aged 65+ on  April 1, 2020. The general public can begin scheduling appointments on May 1, 2020.

*FYI- households who received assistance during our winter program are eligible to receive this assistance as well. 

Our Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funds are limited and are “first come, first served.”  This means that we cannot serve every single person who needs or wants assistance. 

Please continually check our website or Facebook for updates.
