Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services is now taking applications for an added Spring Subsidy program for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis through June 30, 2021, or until designated funds are depleted.
Residents wishing to apply must schedule an appointment utilizing the automated appointment scheduler at 502/991-8391 or visit www.louisvilleky.cascheduler.com.
Applicants must be residents of Jefferson County with a household income at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. The benefit amount awarded is based on a household’s income and primary fuel type. Benefits are paid directly to the utility vendor (i.e. LG&E).
For the Subsidy Component, residents can apply regardless of the status of their utility bills; it is not necessary to have a past-due amount.
Currently all LIHEAP offices remain closed to walk-in clients in accordance with CDC guidelines, therefore applicants will be requested to drop off all required documentations in a secured drop box at the LIHEAP office selected using the appointment system.
Note: Residents who were served during the recent LIHEAP Crisis Phase may still apply during LIHEAP Subsidy if they meet program eligibility requirements.
