Connecticut Community Action Agengy Accepting Energy Assistance Applications
Cold weather is headed our way in the coming months and the Connecticut Community Action Agency (CAA) Network is accepting energy assistance applications ahead of the 2018-2019 heating season.
Connecticut residents struggling to pay utility bills can apply for home heating assistance at the local CAA. Community Action Agencies are the only nonprofit agencies administering the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which provides home heating assistance to the state’s most vulnerable residents.
In Connecticut this program is called the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) and is housed under the Department of Social Services (DSS). The state’s Community Action Agencies administer the program locally in all 169 cities and towns.
