A local non-profit has a program to help people afford their energy bills, but only until appointments are filled and funds run out. 

Breann Titus with Community Action indicates that the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, was opened for applications on November 1. She urges anyone who needs help to make their phone appointment as soon as possible, as spots are running out very quickly. 

Titus adds that LIHEAP has had a noticeable increase in interest. She believes this to be due to ever-increasing utility rates. 

If you are interested in receiving assistance through LIHEAP, visit capcil.info. Learn more about Community Action by finding their Facebook page.
