LIHEAP enters "Crisis Phase"

The LIHEAP Crisis Phase began Wednesday, January 4, 2012.

LIHEAP, the Low income Home Energy Assistance Program, helps income eligible residents of Jefferson County with their utility bills. For the Crisis Phase, applicants must have received a brown, disconnection notice from their utility service provider, or an eviction notice if their utilities are included in the rent.

Appointments are required to apply for this program and are being issued in person only at the Central CAP Office only located at the Urban Government Center, 810 Barret Avenue. When scheduling an appointment, applicants need to bring a picture ID and a most recent heating bill (must be a "brown bill"), or an eviction notice if utilities are included in the rent. Beginning January 4th, appointments will be issued at all three CAP offices.
