Low Income Heating Assistance

Winter weather is here, and many Hoosiers are eligible for energy assistance through the Low Income Heating Assistance Program

Households that qualify for assistance are protected from utility disconnection from Dec. 1 through March 15. To find an energy assistance program that serves your area, visit www.incap.org or call 1-800-382-9895

If you do not qualify, there are still several other ways to manage your bills during the coming months. If you are having difficulty paying your bill, the most important step you need to take is contacting your utility company. Many companies provide services or payment agreements to help lessen the burden.  

For our community, Duke Energy has the following programs available to help customers manage their bill: the Helping Hand Program, budget billing, adjusted due date and third-party notificationIPL also offers several programs including the Energy Assistance Program, payment extensions and budget billing. 

You can also reach out to Indiana 2-1-1 for utility assistance and other helpful programs.
