The Upper East Tennessee Human Development Agency’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program Outreach RV will be in our region in August helping those needing assistance with their energy bills.
This program helps keep individuals and families safe and healthy through initiatives that assist with energy costs. For those who qualify, a payment is sent directly to the recipient’s utility company and is credited to their bill. Payments can take up to 90 days to be applied.
The RV will be in Greeneville on August 15th from 9 AM to 3 PM at Food City, located at 509 Ashville Highway.
Last year UETHDA provided LIHEAP funding to 11,730 households, totaling more than 5.7 million dollars. Priority is given to the low-income, energy-burdened, disabled, elderly, homes with young children under six, veterans, and large households.
You may also visit one of the nine neighborhood service centers within the eight-county service area for aid. LIHEAP is only one of many services offered to help with self-sufficiency. If you or someone you know needs help, have them call (423) 246-6180.
