Kentucky's LIHEAP Crisis Program Offers "Warmth for Winter"

As winter grips the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Crisis component is offering a lifeline to those struggling to keep their homes warm. The initiative, running from January 9 through March 31, 2024, is aptly titled "Warmth for Winter" and is reaching out to eligible residents through the Kentucky Community Action Partnerships.

Residents in need of emergency home heating assistance can apply at their local community action agency, with detailed information available on the CAP Kentucky website. This critical support is made possible through funding provided by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, utilizing a block grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

For those in Garrard County, the Bluegrass Community Action Partnership has set up a dedicated contact number and an online appointment system to streamline the application process.

The contact number is (859) 792-3422.

The user-friendly system also allows applicants to schedule their appointments conveniently online, ensuring efficient access to assistance at the following link.

The "Warmth for Winter" campaign is not only a testament to the state's commitment to its citizens but also underscores the broader national effort to provide financial aid during the colder months, ensuring that no household goes without heat during the harsh winter.
