  • Help with utility and heating bills, in the form of grants and other financial aid, can be provided by Audubon Area Community Services, Inc. The federal government funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides families with a cash grant for utility and heating bills. Low and moderate income households can apply for aid. There are two main components to LIHEAP.
    The first is the Subsidy Component. This will provide ongoing grants that can be applied for everyday energy bills. The second option is the Winter Crisis Component. This service is also for income eligible households, however they also must be within 48 hours of running out of fuel or having their utility service shut off. They may also have a disconnect notice. Coordinators at the community action agency say they help around 40 to 60 people a day who live in the Owensboro-Daviess County Kentucky area.
    Another resource for energy bills is WinterCare. This program provide funds which are provided by donations from utility customers and local businesses. The funds are raised are then sent to the Lexington Community Action Agency from across the state and they are then distributed two or three times during the winter heating season to local families and individuals. Persons who are LIHEAP Crisis-eligible are also eligible for help from the WinterCare assistance program.
