Community Services

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal, anti-poverty block grant which funds the operations of 23 Community Action Agencies across the state. This CSBG network coordinates and delivers programs and services to low-income Kentuckians in all 120 counties.

Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Crisis

An enrollment period for LIHEAP Crisis will run from January 9, 2023, through March 31, 2023. Applications will be accepted during the enrollment period, or until designated funds are depleted on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Crisis benefits will cover the minimum needed to alleviate the crisis not to exceed the Community Action Agency's local cost for a deliverable supply of the household's primary heating fuel or $400 for gas or electric. Households can reapply each time they experience a crisis situation until they reached their maximum benefit.

Income eligibility for the program is up to and including 130% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Benefits are paid directly to the fuel vendor. Individuals should acquire and apply through their local Community Action Agency office.

All applicants will be required to supply the following documentation at time of application:

  • Proof of Social Security Number or Permanent Residence card (Green Card) for each member of the household.
  • Proof of all household’s (all members) income from the preceding month.
  • Most current heating bill, statement from your landlord if heating expenses are included in your rent, or a statement from utility company if you participate in a Pre-Pay Electric Program.
  • The account number and name on the account for main heating fuel sources and electric bill.

Funding provided by Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services through block grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
