weatherization
Community Action Home’s Weatherization program hires contractors to make
improvements to the homes of low-income people and educates them on comfort
and conservation techniques to enable them to save money on heating costs; it also
repairs and even replaces failing heating systems. During the summer, we repair
and/or replace air conditioners as well as install window air conditioners.
Apply for low income Home Heating and Energy Assistance
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) helps families living on low incomes pay their heating bills in the form of a cash grant. Households in immediate danger of being without heat can also qualify for crisis grants. The cash grant is a one-time payment sent directly to the utility company/fuel provider to be credited on your bill. These grants range from $200 to $1,000 based on household size, income, and fuel type.
Remember: This is a grant and does not have to be repaid.
