Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Spring Subsidy
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Spring Subsidy enrollment will begin on April 16 and run through May 31, 2024.
Spring Subsidy Cooling Component is designed to help offset the cost of a household’s electric cost, providing eligible households a one-time benefit ranging from $38 to $200 depending on income levels and housing category.
Applications will be accepted during the enrollment period, or until designated funds are depleted on a first come, first-serve basis. Income eligibility for the program is up to and including 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Benefits are paid directly to the electric vendor.
Interested households should contact Central KY Community Action Council’s Community Services in Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, LaRue, Marion, Meade, Nelson, and Washington Counties to apply. All applicants will be required to supply the following documentation at the time of application:
Spring Subsidy DOES NOT require a disconnect notice, a past due bill, or eviction notice. The Subsidy benefit can be applied as a credit on your account. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect household’s eligibility.
Community Action Kentucky administers LIHEAP in partnership with the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services who receive the funding as a pass-through block grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
