| With colder temperatures headed our way and heating costs on the rise, some Hoosiers could have trouble paying their utility bills. Fortunately, assistance is available to help ease the burden. | |||||
| The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority’s Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides a one-time, annual benefit to help eligible Hoosiers with home energy payments. Applications are now open and will be accepted through April 14, 2025. Applicants can expect to hear back in about 55 days if eligible. For those receiving a direct payment benefit, it could take up to 120 days from the date of approval.Please note the program does not cover all home energy expenses, so it is important that you continue to pay your utility bills. Hoosiers at risk of having their utilities disconnected should contact their provider as soon as possible to negotiate payments. You can find a map of utility providers here, or simply call 211 for local resources. | |||||
