ENROLLMENT FOR LIHEAP SUMMER SUBSIDY COOLING OPENS JULY 16

Jefferson County Residents Can Apply for Electric Assistance through Louisville Metro RCS

Louisville, KY. Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Summer Subsidy is here to help Kentucky households offset summer cooling costs. Enrollment starts July 16 and runs until September 13, 2024, or until designated funds are depleted, on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

The Summer Subsidy Component provides households with incomes up to 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines a one-time benefit ranging from $50 to $250 depending on income levels and housing category. Benefits are paid directly to the household’s electric vendor.

Jefferson County residents wishing to apply may schedule an appointment utilizing the automated appointment system. 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.

All applicants will be required to supply the following documentation at time of application:

  • Proof of Social Security Number or Permanent Residence card (Green Card) for each member of the household.
  • Proof of income from the preceding month for all members of the household.
  • Most current electric bill, statement from your landlord if electric is included in your rent, statement from utility company if you participate in a Pre-Pay Electric Program.
  • The account number and name on the account for main heating fuel sources and electric bill.

The Summer Subsidy does not require a disconnect notice or past due bill. The benefit can be applied as a credit on your account. Assistance received during previous LIHEAP components does not affect a household's eligibility.

For more descriptions about LIHEAP income eligibility and other instructions, visit https://louisvilleky.gov/LIHEAP. Residents may also call the automated LIHEAP information line at (502) 991-8391 or visit www.louisvilleky.cascheduler.com.

Louisville Free Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program off to a hot start!

Library

LFPL’s Summer Reading Program has been a Louisville tradition for nearly a century, helping children and teens avoid summer learning loss by encouraging them to read for fun by offering prizes and incentives. This year’s program, A Universe of Stories, just kicked off last Saturday and more than 9,000 area youth—newborns to 12th graders—have already signed up!

To complete the program, school-aged children need to read ten books, teens read six books, and preschool-aged children and younger need to read, or have read to them, 20 books. Everyone who completes the program will receive an alien pencil pouch (kids) or tech bag (teens), as well as coupons for free treats from Ehrler’s Ice Cream and Fazoli’s, and free passes to area attractions like Kentucky Science Center, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, Squire Boone Caverns, Louisville Bats Baseball, Racing Louisville FC, select UofL sports, and more.

LFPL’s Summer Reading Program is presented by the Library Foundation and is absolutely FREE. Participants can register online at LFPL.org/SummerReading, or stop by any Louisville Free Public Library location between now and August 3.

LFPL’s Summer Reading is more than books!

Did you know that LFPL also offers hundreds of FREE events and activities as part of the Summer Reading Program, to help keep kids and teens entertained and engaged when school is out. Join us for magic shows, storytelling, art projects, wild animals, and a whole lot more all summer long.

To learn more about these events, and all of the other exciting things happening at your Library this summer, visit LFPL.org/events.

Pop-Up Drop-Off July 20th

JULY Junk Drop

The next Pop-Up Drop-Off event will be Saturday, July 20 at 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Fern Creek Elementary and High School. Please enter at the elementary school at 8815 Ferndale Rd. View the entire 2024 schedule.

Tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:

Pop-Up Drop-Off events are extremely popular, and our staff strives to make the drive-through experience as efficient as possible. Here are seven tips for attending a Pop-Up Drop-Off:

  1. Do not arrive early! All Pop-Up Drop-Off events start at 10 a.m. A line of vehicles causes traffic backups and prevents our equipment from entering.
  2. Only bring sensitive documents to be shredded! The line for shredding is usually the longest. We have seen catalogs, paperback books, etc. being shredded, which is unnecessary and takes up valuable time.
  3. Make sure no items are mixed with your documents! We've seen hammers, scissors, and toys mixed in with documents. These contaminants can break the shredding truck's equipment! 
  4. Try giving away usable items first! We see a LOT of decent items being trashed or recycled at our events. Some residents even offer these items to workers - staff is not allowed to keep items. Please try to donate or give away BEFORE coming to our waste and recycling event.
  5. Loads of construction materials, lumber, and loose debris are NOT allowed! Take these loads to the Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Ave instead. Pop-Up Drop-Off events are very popular - please follow the rules so we can keep the line moving.
  6. Separate your loads into the various categories! More can be recycled, and the line moves faster when you are ready to offload your items at each station.
  7. Check-in staff will ask for your zip code and which types of items you brought. We track this information so we can keep improving our events. Most residents bring large items, electronics, and documents for shredding. Other categories include metal (or mostly metal) items, tires, yard waste, household recyclables, prescription medication, and shoes.
