Energy Assistance Program (EAP)
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides utility assistance to qualifying households in Daviess, Greene, Knox and Sullivan Counties.
The winter heating season operates November through mid May. A one-time benefit towards the home’s primary heat source is provided to defray the cost of heating your home in the colder winter months. An additional benefit is provided to the home’s electric account as well.
Energy Education is provided to applicants, which provides tips on how to conserve energy within the home, therefore lowering utility bills.
Services are provided without regard to race, age, color, religion, sex, disability, national origin, ancestry, or status as a veteran.

Do I Qualify?
The Monthly Gross Income for the 13 weeks prior to the date of application must be at or below 150% of the OMB Poverty Guidelines to qualify for households up to 7 persons, and 60% of the FPL for households of 8 or 9 persons.
How are Benefits Determined?
Benefits are determined based on a point system and not by the amount of your bill.
Households can earn up to 26 points with each point equating to $25 toward the home’s primary heat source.
