Kentucky River Foothills is continuing to provide energy assistance through the crisis component of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Applications can be made through March 31 or until available funds have been expended. The program assists households experiencing a home heating crisis situation.
Individuals and households that have already received assistance this year are eligible to receive additional help. Households can reapply each time they experience a crisis situation until they reached their maximum benefit. Benefits are paid directly to the primary fuel vendor. Benefits may take the form of bulk fuel deliveries or pending utility disconnect. Crisis relief will be provided within 48 hours or 18 hours if an emergency.
