CAPCIL Seeing Increased Demand for LIHEAP

An energy assistance program is seeing more people than usual reach out for assistance.

 

Breann Titus with Community Action notes LIHEAP is a program to help people cover energy and utility expenses. She says they are seeing an increase in people reaching out in part due to the energy companies sending out disconnecting notices.

 

 

Titus says if you are in the potential jeopardy of getting disconnected the time to reach out is now. Community Action will schedule an appointment as soon as they have one available.

 

 

Do not be alarmed if your appointment is not as soon as you would like it to be. Titus says their office is understaffed and overwhelmed with the influx of appointment requests they are receiving.

 

 

Titus notes that LIHEAP works on a percentage system of what you qualify for. Depending on what you receive and how much your bill is it could be either one-time assistance or multiple assistance throughout the LIHEAP year.
