+ LIHEAP summer cooling assistance enrollment is now open
The Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) summer cooling assistance is designed to help offset the cost of higher electric bills due to rising temperatures.
Applications will be accepted until October 31, 2021, or when funds run out. Households must have a household income at or below 150% of the Kentucky median income.
The LIHEAP Summer Cooling Program is separated into two components: The Subsidy component provides households a one-time benefit ranging from $100 to $400 depending on income levels and housing category. The Crisis component is available to eligible households who demonstrate a home energy crisis situation. Crisis benefits will cover the minimum needed to alleviate the crisis not to exceed $600.
Households can reapply each time they experience a crisis situation until they reached their maximum benefit.
Schedule a drop-off appointment in advance at one of the seven LIHEAP Drop Boxes. Appointments can be scheduled by phone by calling 502-991-8391 or online at louisvilleky.cascheduler.com. The toll-free service is currently open and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Applicants will be assessed for both the Subsidy and Crisis programs and may receive benefits from both programs if eligible.
