Happy New Year! I hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful holiday season and that 2026 is off to a wonderful start. I know I will be writing my dates wrong for at least a couple more weeks!
The LIHEAP Winter Crisis component began on January 6th, 2026. Households who are in a home heating crisis and are at risk of having their utilities cut off due to unpaid balances may be eligible for Winter Crisis. Please send anybody in this unfortunate situation to their local Community Services Block Grant office. For more information call our central office at 270-692-2136.
CKCAC is looking ahead to an exciting 2026. We have partnered with Lincoln Trail Area Development District’s strategic communications department (LINC) to bring stronger messaging to you. We are actively exploring new funding streams by applying for Kentucky Housing Corporation’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. CKCAC is finalizing a 3-year strategic plan that we hope to roll out to you in the coming months, as well.
Finally, CKCAC is also going to be advertising a few Board of Director openings for a couple of our counties. Please be on the lookout for the announcements and what counties have vacancies. We hope you will help identify and nominate folks who bring a passion for helping people and changing lives!
As always, thank you for all you do.
